The largest Panthera atrox skull on the record is 467.5mm and 304.5mm.

The largest Cromerian lion skull is 484.7mm and the width is unknown, but their skull is proportionally narrower compared to other big cats.

So we can assume that the largest skull of the prehistoric lions or lion-like cats should be around 12 inches.

 

Okay we assumed that the prehistoric lions or lion-like cats largest skull width is around 12 inches, so considering the fact that tigers have much wider skull than lions, then should we assume prehistoric tigers or tiger-like cats have much wider skull than prehistoric lions/lion-like cats?

 

The prehistoric tiger skulls seem to be more robust built than their modern counterparts, but the only problem is that the exact measurements are still not available.

If you ask me that could the prehistoric tiger skull exceed 12 inches in width? It is definitely possible, at least theoritically plausible. Reply
