Who is the "king" of tigers? - Bengal or Amur

[return 80]

Hello everyone, Wildfact Forum friends.

I am an enthusiast of vertebrate paleontology and a writer of online popular science articles. Recently, while conducting data analysis, I had the opportunity to measure the Siberian tiger skull cast of Boneclones. My friend suggested that I share some data on Wildfact, which may be of great interest to some Wildfact Forum.

I previously sent the data to another post, but it seems that it did not pass the auditing, so I am sharing the relevant data here. If there is any offense, I will delete this reply

Here are some Main skull measurement data:

1.Greatest skull length(Prosthion–inion):
378.2mm

2.condylobasal length (Prosthion–Occipital condyles):
321.1mm

3.basal length (Prosthion–Basion):
302.3mm

4.alveolus of C1 to alveolus of P4:
100.5mm

5.alveolus of C1: 22.3mm (LM)×29.5mm(AP)

6.Rostral breadth: 102.5mm

7.Interorbital breadth: 68.7mm

8.zygomatic breadth: 249.0mm

9.Postorbital breadth :57.3mm

10.Mastoidal breadth: 145.3mm

11.mandible length (infradentale -middle of condyle) :237.5mm

12.mandible height before p3: 44.7mm

13.mandible height after m1:49.5mm

14. maximum crown length of P4: 33.8mm

15. maximum crown length of m1:
25.5mm

I used digital calipers and metal calipers for measurement, with 2-3 observers observing whether the measurements were aligned with the correct measurement points. Each data was measured more than 3 times. My measurement accuracy is 0.01mm, with a retention accuracy of 0.1mm. Measurement values exceeding 200mm will undergo accuracy calibration
