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.

A mandible of that size (c.275 cm) would belong to a skull of no less than 400 cm. The huge skull from Manchuria (reported by Mazák) that measured 406 cm had a mandible of 276 cm. This can give us an idea of the size of that skull.
A tiger with a skull of 406 cm probably had a head-body length of c.220 cm in straight line, following the proportion of 5.4 that I established before.
