 ABOUT THE TIGER & LION WEIGHT



 Many decades ago some writers stated that large Siberians and Bengals were not the norm. But somehow their words were not been heard. The old weight tigers and Lion records had been revised not so long ago. It appears that many were not trustworthy and often exaggerated. Now it looks like there are little differences between a Siberian and a Bengal tiger. The new studies shows another unexpected surprise in average lions are a little heavier but it seems they may be more oversize tigers than they are oversize lions. SO IT IS MORE EXACT TO SAY THAT LIONS AND TIGERS ARE BOTH THE LARGEST CATS. These new facts had been known since 2009 now. Little efforts had been done to bring up to date these new data in wild life sites and blogs.



 THE TIGER EXPECT KAILASH SANKHALA



 One of the greatest tiger expect was Kailash Sankhala (1925-1994) known as "The Tiger Man of India". The tiger was his favorite animal. From his 1970's book, he had studied tigers for many years and when to the Gir forest too. There are only 10 to 12 regions in the whole India that can suits the lions needs. Once, these few dispersed places were eventually all occupied by lions. To do so lions had to pass through the tiger's moist regions first. Kailash Sankhala wrote that the lions took the territories away from the tigers. Before lions were exterminated by men, tigers totally disappeared from these regions. On page 119 Kailash Sankhala had the honesty to state in a fair fight on a one on one combat a tiger is no match for a lion, he added a tiger will avoid a lion.
