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.

Freak Felids - A Discussion of History's Largest Felines

Hello guys. Joking

Sorry (again) for the looooooooooooooooooong delay. These news and the new tables of @peter bring me back immediately, and I also bring some good news for all.

To the point, yes, that is the skull of the Ngandong tiger with out a doubt, and is a pleasant surprise to see it still complete and in good shape. The mandible is definitely the one labeled as (d) in the image of @tigerluver, and sadly it seems broken.

Now, the question of the million dollars, how the hell those Russians get that photo? Again, Russians are reaching the moon first, if you know what I mean. Sad

Other thing, is the Ngandong tiger femur still complete, or even more important, it still exist??? If the answer is yes, to both, it will be great.


Is good to see, that at least one of the four more important bones of the Ngandong tiger is still complete, safe and ready to be studied again. It seems that is as large as the largest tiger skull measured by Mazák (1983), which is of 383 mm, if not slightly longer, like the normal profile of the Sunda tigers.

Thank you for bringing more data to this topic. Like
