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.

Most skulls I measured belonged to Sumatran and Javan tigers. The difference between captive and wild skulls is remarkable. One of the most pronounced differences is upper canine length and, in particular, width. A skull of a captive male tiger can have long and robust canines, but only up to a limit.
I will post many skull tables in some months. All of them will have individual entries only, which will enable us to get to a few decent conclusions. At the moment, I'm reorganising everything I have. Takes a lot of time, but couldn't be avoided.
By the way. I will propose to move this thread to the Premier League. It has both good info and good views and it's well managed. My compliments, Grizzly.
