There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I've allegedly heard about the tiger canine teeth that measure over 15 cm long and weigh over 200 grams in the Harbin breeding center, although I prefer to have the pic of these giant fangs on a weight scale and in between a caliper.
Based on the symmetric proportion, a 200 grams tooth could point toward a 10 pounds skull, but this might be a bit too much for a modern big cat, unless it is a freakish specimen like Baikal.
The heaviest skull for both modern lion and tiger should max at around 6.5 pounds.
