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.

Yes, lions seems to have longer skulls than tigers, but this is because lions have larger snout than tiger. However, on the other hand, tiger skulls have larger brain cases than lions, and the difference is high.
Skull size is not related with weight in modern lions, many of the largest skulls (about 380 - 400 mm) came from average sized lions of no more than 200 kg.
