Yeah its a shame there isint more of people doing real scientifical studys with the boot to show factual evidence on live specimens and deceased…I mean Video cams and photos has been around for a while and the best we have to go by are only small site-seeing tourist photos, some zoo, sanctuarys and of course circuses.

Thats where people like me (Enthusiasts) have to make amatuer calculations, though I guess there is a limit to how much one can impliment in a certain study so its still fair game in being accurate becuase alot of Biologist and zoolgist seem to know no more than wiki its self lol and when they do mention something of intrest its never there own study/census, its always older records that seem to be un-reliable.

Even what most consider the best of the best like Nat geo, Animal planet and Discovery chanel seem to be less then the standard now days, for alot of information looks to be more medicore and not of the extreme accuratecy needed…more so just free lancers with low degrees in there fields, you could possibly get better info from the locals if they have the resources to cultivate a answer.

But anyways…thanks again and Good luck to you too in your further work, Pretty awesome stuff.

I was just conducting some research on comparing lions and tigers in terms mass and weight figures. It is quite hard to find information now days thats deemed creditable with all the yahoo answers, wikipedia, and fan based secondary sites its quite challanging to find hard evidence thats reliable. lol

But I’m in a “Sherlock Holmes mode” so I’ll keep hunting.

Plus, its kinda hard to find anything at all when the computer your using is a 2003 and has limitations in reading more recent softwares….-_-…cant wait to upgrade so I can broaden my search. ;D odd that there was a disecting done, but no basis or a catagorie of study to concur? Hmm, even more strange. lol

But anyways I guess I’m back on the hunt, thanks for the reply…

Did you all happen to have weighed the lion and tiger?

By the looks of the tigers fur, seems to be a Siberian.

Yet the lion looks massively larger I am finding out historical weight figures of both cats have been over exaggerated greatly, alot of modern documentaions show the african lion and Amur tiger are at a stand off in terms weight.

Individual weight census are showing that african lions are more consistantly heavier than modern tigers of all sub-speices. I just had to ask if any of you weighed these speicimens using modern weighing scales if at all?

And what was the specific study about?

Reguards.
