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.

1 - Assuming that CBL is condylobasal length, many skulls, compared to those of today's lions, are very large, if not immense. Anything known on the average difference between CBL and GTL (greatest total length)? If so, was the difference compared to the average difference in skulls of modern lions? 
2 - Anything known on zygomatic width? And the difference between then and now? 
3 - Anything known on the relation between the skull and the other bones? And in modern lions?
4 - Anything known on skull and bone robustness? And compared to modern lions?
5 - Anything known on the bones in the feet?
6 - Would you be able to get to estimates if you would use skulls of modern lions only? And tigers?
7 - In what way did you translate dimorphism into numbers?
