Would be interesting to know, and how it relates to their ecology.

And a lot of those Skulls used for old studies are from captive specimens as well, I'm sure it's the same for Clouded Leopards but Jaguars certainly show an extreme difference in skull size depending on the location. I'm sure a Skull from the Pantanal would not only have the largest size recorded in Jag skulls but I'd imagine the same would hold true for Canine size, especially since they prey so often on Caiman and utilize the skull bite more frequently when doing so.
