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.

Thank you very much for the data peter. So it seems that the Sumatran tigers have longer canines, in relation with the skull length. I infer then that all Island tigers have relative longer canines than Mainland tigers, except for the Bali tiger.

Sadly, the sample of Bali is two small and those are the only specimens available, ever. So, all our conclutions most be infer from them, but they will be allways very partial.

Again, thanks for the data and the pictures with measurements. [img]images/smilies/smile.gif[/img]
