RE: Big Cat's Canines and Claws - Jack Yeoh - 01-22-2017
Recently got this old tiger teeth specimen from Burma(Myanmar)...
Size is about over 4 inches in length. Cleaned with vinegar to remove the epoxy and applied oil onto it.
Not sure the age of this teeth, any expert inputs are welcome... got it inscribed with some writings by Thai monks...

@Jack Yeoh
Excellent post, it does look like an authentic tiger upper canine tooth. According to the geographic location of this tooth, it should belong to an average male Indochinese tiger.
This tooth doesn't look very recent, it could be dated more than hundred years old.

I don't think the trade for the body parts of the endangered animals is somehow legal.
The purpose of this thread is only for study and discussion of the big cats' teeth and claws.

'THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL MORPHOLOGICAL EFFECT OF CAPTIVITY', Hartstone-Rose A. et al, November 2014
Interesting study about the effect of diet on the skull shape of captive big cats. To keep it short: the effect of diet is more significant than, for example, gender. This should tell you something, as the differences between male and female big cats, skulls included, are pronounced. The advice of the authors is to change the diet of captive big cats:
http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0113437#pone-0113437-t004
Is the difference between captive and wild also seen in canines? Most definitely. Canines of wild big cats are significantly thicker at the insertion in the jaw. Very often, they also are a bit longer.

RE: Big Cat's Canines and Claws - Maliboo - 01-31-2017
can anyone please help explain the difference in coloration on the canine to the right? Is this an anomaly as there does not appear to be any damage to the enamel? Thanks.

The different coloration has to do with many different factors; preservation with oil, age, condition of deterioration, etc.
BTW, the resin cast always looks unnaturally bland in color, not naturally vivid like the real canines.
These are the resin casts from low quality to high quality. Even the high quality one still looks quite distinguishable from the real canines. The coloration is still too unnaturally neat.
