ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - A - THE TIGER (Panthera tigris)

[GuateGojira]

On captive tiger skulls:

Resently I posted information about the largest captive tiger skulls. My previous data was that the largest Amur tiger skull from Bone Clones was of 393 mm in GSL, however now the webpage shows a size of 383 mm in GSL. @epaiva measured his copy of the skull and result that the 383 mm is the correct figure.

So, in base of this evidence, the largest captive tiger skulls that I know are:

1 - 400 L x 292 W mm. - Source: theskullatorium twett.
2 - 384 L x 270.5 W mm. - Source: Hartstone-Rose et al., 2014.
3 - 383 L x 249 W mm. - Source: Boneclones. com.
4 - 380 L x 284 W mm. - Source. Yoshikazu et al., 2016.

This will be helpfull for @peter and his database. Now we only need to know the results of the size of the large skull reported by Tantius et al. (2016). Reply
