@GrizzlyClaws:
About #336: being a french-speaking guy, I need to convert the inchs into cm. So :
5,5 inchs = 13,97 cm, 3 inch = 7,62 cm... Impressive samples !

Both individuals are freak specimens for their respective species.

Sumatran tiger, same sample from the post #335.

BTW, what is your opinion about the canine alveoli in the post #324?
I just crudely measured the skull. I (with no concrete basis) tried to acknowledge the shortening of that big skull due to angle and still found the alveoli to be proportionately very large. I mean from the raw photo the alveoli are less than a sixth smaller than the length of the skull (in tigers the the relationship is more 1/9-1/11 I believe).
Just compare vK's skull to it to see the extra large alveoli:

There has to be heavy angle-caused distortion that is making the rostrum, alveoli, and skull as a whole look so wide. Can't say how much distortion there is, but as the photo stands a 50 mm canine would produce a 300 mm (not correct due to angle distortion). Maybe a 400-450 mm skull more realistically if the skull had 50 mm wide canine alveoli?
RE: Big Cat's Canines and Claws - GrizzlyClaws - 12-05-2016
@tigerluver
The width/length ratio of the tiger's alveoli is usually no less than 0.7. If the length is 50 mm, then its width will be no less than 35 mm.
The angle doesn't look very distorted horizontally. So based on the width of the 35 mm alveoli, his muzzle will break the record.

@tigerluver
Can you estimate the weight of the tiger canine in the post #103?
This canine has the similar ratio to the lower canine in the post #137, and the only thing we miss is the anterior diameter for both canine teeth.
As for the anterior diameter, it is usually no less than 0.7 against the lateral diameter as the ratio for the tiger canine teeth.
