RE: Big Cat's Canines and Claws - GrizzlyClaws - 10-31-2015
South China tiger, an old male that probably dated from 50-100 years ago.

The lion here is a sub adult male

How do you know it is a sub adult male out of curiosity?

Jawa Rumbia informed me

Yeah, i think it is a sub-adult lion claw.. Correct me if i were wrong @Pckts...

I don't know if it is or not, I never read anything on where those claws were received from.
My guess is that you shouldn't see that much of a difference between the two, so it may be a smaller claw (sub adult, female) but it may not. I would say the most understudied piece of anatomy of any big cat would be their claws.

I agree, there would be a minimal difference, as is most between lions and tigers. And regarding big cat claws I would love to see more studies on them.

Yes, unlike the canines, the claws are virtually no different between these two great cat species.

These above certainly do not to my eye.
Here is the size difference between a male South China tiger and a very large male clouded leopard.
