But the giant Amur male from the Duisburg Zoo was measured in both gumline and straight line.

Then what is the largest canine record for lion from the gumline?


 

The largest canine record for a wild lion, measured from the gum line, is of 5.8 cm and is from a male (Amboga) in Amboseli, East Africa.



 

 

Then the record for the captive lions should be the giant 295kg male cited by Christiansen, it was 6.1cm from the gumline.

But the 6.7cm canines from the skull should be somewhat similar to this one.

According to peter, those giant lions don't have very large skull, but their skulls are way heavier than other longer lion skulls.

This pic shows how it works for the gumline and for the skull.
