Thank you very much for the data peter. So it seems that the Sumatran tigers have longer canines, in relation with the skull length. I infer then that all Island tigers have relative longer canines than Mainland tigers, except for the Bali tiger.

Sadly, the sample of Bali is two small and those are the only specimens available, ever. So, all our conclutions most be infer from them, but they will be allways very partial.

Again, thanks for the data and the pictures with measurements. [img]images/smilies/smile.gif[/img]
