Can they measure Wagdoh's canines they got a chance?
I wonder if it can beat Madla's record?!  *This image is copyright of its original author

Waghdoh is old and has lived a full life, his canines are surely worn down and not nearly what they were in his prime. 
For his age, his canine teeth are still in perfect condition.
This is how those massive subfossil tiger canine teeth were preserved, because these monster canine teeth were mostly belong to some old dominant territorial males like him. Wagdoh's upper canine teeth look so much bigger than his lower canine teeth, so it indicates that his upper canine teeth must be exceptional in size.
Its all subjective. They are dull in color so obviously worn down, maybe tigers put more use to lower canines than upper who knows. Its to hard to determine a canine from a photo shot only I believe.
I bet this is how Wagdoh's canine is going to look like, the crown part was worn down by age despite it is still huge.
Those tiger subfossils indicate that many old dominant territorial males used to live quite long in the past, also they didn't have their canine teeth damaged, but only getting worn down by the natural aging process. Wagdoh's canine teeth also have the similar curvature with the subfossil one, so this is the general characteristic of the dominant territorial males' canine teeth.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author
The tiger canine in your personal collection is not very worn down, so it could belong to a young dominant male who was died from poaching.
Whilst those huge subfossil tiger canine teeth were all shown to be worn down, so we got plenty of large male tigers like Wagdoh who lived very long in the past.

I would almost guarantee that mine is from the Tiger Temple. Its already tied with selling tiger carcasses to the black market, so it most likely is from there. The temple is only a couple of hours from where I was, I was going to go before I heard how horrific that place was. Im so glad it got shut down.
By looking at the degree of worn down, this male doesn't look very old, what could cause his death?
China/India/Southeast Asia are perhaps the ideal places to dig for the tiger subfossils.
I think possessing the subfossil canines are better than the fresh ones.
