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.
According to Mr. Stout, this mandible has absolutely huge canine tooth in proportion compared to the Pleistocene lions.
So it is possible for a smaller 700 pounds Amur tiger having larger canine teeth than a 1000 pounds Pleistocene Sunda tiger? Since they need to prey on the similar sized bovids, and with a decreasing body size, they need to offset this disadvantage with the proportionally larger canine teeth.
