Would it be possible to make mention of the lions' canines weight too ? At last one or two times ? In order to compare with the tigers' ones... Thanks in advance.

The post #145 has both lion upper/lower canines being weighed.

http://wildfact.com/forum/topic-big-cat-s-canines-and-claws?page=10


And the canine density formula for the older male lion is 4 inches/50 grams, and the younger male lion's canine should weigh much less because of the cavity inside the canine.

Based on a this formula, a 5 inches older male lion canine should weigh around 50 * 1.25^3 = 97.65625. So an extra large male lion canine could weigh up to 100 grams.

My pleasure, I am also looking for the available pic of the 5.4 inches "lionzilla" fang.

Based on a 5 inches canine extracted from a 17 inches lion skull, the skull of this fella would even be more monstrous.
