You yourself think this article is amazing that he was given a weight of 478 kg, with a mandible measurement of 206 cm, although with such a structure of the mandible, his GSL should be only 312 cm. I do not imagine that a tiger with a long skull of 312 cm would weigh 478 kg. I would like to ask you - is such a large weight estimate correct, or is the Mosbach lion still larger than this tiger?

206 cm is the measurement of the fragment as the mandible was broken, and we can never know the full length but with estimation.

Based on the comparison with the modern close relatives of the giant Bornean tiger, the mandible should measure around 320 cm in its complete form, and the GSL is also estimated to be approximately 480 cm or 460 cm according Per Christiansen with more conservative formula.

The skull of the giant Bornean tiger is either similar to the largest Panthera spelaea or the largest Panthera fossilis depending on the formula to choose to guesstimate its size. Reply
