I find it difficult to believe an adult lions claws are smaller than a jags and cheetahs and equal to a leopards.
Common sense would support that.

The largest big claw I've seen belongs to a male African lion, 7 cm in the straight line.

Bengal tiger, the unfragmented canine is about 158 mm, and the claw is close to 80 mm.
This claw is now the largest big cat claw I've seen.

That's interesting I thought the tigers claws were a little longer.

He's got some nice-sized canines for a modern lion, jeez!
RE: Big Cat's Canines and Claws - GrizzlyClaws - 12-31-2015
Yep, it looks like a large captive male, but too bad the big cats are overpopulated in the captivity of the US and China, and that's why their body parts were ended up selling to the taxidermists and ivory collectors.
