Cats rely on their sense of smell to determine where a cat has been, to define their territory, and to find out if food is safe to eat. A cat's nose contains around 200 million nerve cells, while a human only has 5 million, making a cat's sense of smell is around 14 times more sensitive than a human's. Not surprisingly, once a cat smells something it may remember it for the rest of its life.

Bears are thought to have the best sense of smell of any animal on earth. For example, the average dog’s sense of smell is 100 times better than a humans. A blood hound’s is 300 times better. A bear’s sense of smell is 7 times better than a blood hound’s or 2,100 times better than a human.

Interesting, Epaiva. Could you get hold of the precise measurements (in mm.) of all skulls and add a few details (source, age, year, gender, captive, wild)? Things like that. The more details, the better.

It would be very nice if you could show all skulls of big cats next to each other. This will enable readers to see the differences between them at a glance. Thanks in advance.

Quite impressive measurements. Also shape of claws is looking like it, that those really can dig in very deep. In "right" or "wrong" spot, depending on point of view, that long claws can make quite nasty wounds.

Is possible for a modern lion/tiger skull to attain above 30 cm in the zygomatic width?

Here is a male liger skull from the online taxidermist @oddarticulations.

The total length is 410 mm and width is 308 mm, the rostrum looks to be around 135 mm.
