About the wide, definitelly tigers have wider skulls than lions. I will try to put information here too, but if I can't, you can check the information of tiger skulls made by Mazák and Pocock. About lions, Hollister and Roberts are about the best sources, they use wild lions and if they use a captive ones, they will mention which ones are. You can also check Rowland Ward's records of Big Game, but take care to use only those measured by him, not those by the owners because there are several exageartions in those figures. 

Greetings and until next time.

Hi guate! Long time..

Thanks for your answer. I know you have it. 
But I was so curious about the info. 

Also thanks for the suggestion, I'll try and look up those sources. Of course I need measurements of wild specimens, accurate measurements.
But please post any external info you have on wild specimens. That'd be useful!

Thank you,..
