Grizzly claws, what do you think of the differences in canines between the Bigcats, tigers are longest right, yet it seems there is evidence from various sources showing lions have teeth that can withstand more pressure, and the shorter canine being less likely to break in excessive fighting and gripping large buffalo?

When it comes to canines tigers have the longest, heaviest and robust canines of all bigcats.
The ability to withstand more pressure depends on the bending strength of the canines.
Tiger canines have the highest bending strength of all bigcats which is followed by jaguars and then lions.
Remember the following studies and data is based on all tiger subspecies, if we were to consider only the bengals and amurs then the results would be higher.
