90mm upto gumline is freakishly large.
Is it the longest measurement for any tiger till gumline ?
Do you have the total length of that canine (tip to root) ?
 





 

Yeah, it is perhaps the longest known record for Panthera.

According to peter, the straight line is probably unlikely, maybe in front curve. If so, that would make the canine about 80mm in the straight line from the gumline, or 90mm in the straight line from the skull.

From the tip to root, maybe up to 168mm.




 

Do we have any other measurements from this tiger like Headbody length, shoulder height, chest girth etc ?
What is the general method of measuring canines of live sedated panthera (not from the dead panthera skulls), is it straight line or is it front curve ?
 



 

The head+body length is 220cm and the shoulder height is 110cm, while the chest girth is unknown, but he looked quite bulky for his size.

About in the straight line or front curve, both methods are applicable.


 

Thanks for the measurements Grizzly claws.
Based on these measurements I think Duisburg Zoo tiger is still smaller than Baikal.
The canine measurement in Madla (80mm upto gumline) is it straight line or curved ?
 

 

Madla's canine is 75mm from the gumline in the straight line, so it is slightly smaller than "Amur".

Basically this tiger and Madla have the similar skull/canine proportion despite this one is a captive Amur and another one is a wild Bengal. Since the tiger species is very symmetric in term of the body proportion.

Madla has 40cm skull with 75mm canine, and this guy has 43cm skull with 80mm canine. Reply
