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.

Amur > Bengal > other tiger subspecies > Lion

Here is an example of a very dense canine tooth from a modern tiger. And by judging its length, it does look like to belong to an adult female Amur.

Actually, the largest Canines ever measured belong to Madla (Bengal Tiger) same with the largest skull I believe. Its like splitting hairs when trying to compare large amurs or bengals. When it comes to captivity, it is always reported through circus info that Siberian are by far the largest. But we must take this with a grain of salt since most "bengals" used where hybrids between multiple tiger sub species and also from areas nearer to Java, Sumatra I believe (not certain), Peter can expand more on this. But if you look at the measurements of captive siberians that was posted here with weights around 240kg-270kg the skull size, body length and canine size are all in normal levels and some even being smaller than bengals measured. Its interesting to research.
One last thing, there are almost zilch Pure bred captive bengals to go off of. They all live in india and up until recently, india didn't have the proper nutritional requirements needed to support these cats but now they are better and you can see their sizes improving in some images. But you still have practically nothing to go off so you cant compare them to others.

 
On a side note, could somebody supply the link that peter is talking about in regards to the write up from the person who can interpret Korean?
May be Pm'ing it is a better option to avoid derailment.
Thanks again
