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

[johnny rex]

Is there still no update on Altai's skull? Anyway, remember Lionzilla skull? According to the owner of Lionzilla skull that I contacted through a taxidermy forum, the width of the skull mold measured 29 3/4 cm or 297 mm wide. The length of the skull mold is 42 cm (give or take 5 mm, due to the way the mold fits together) or 420 mm. It is nearly or roughly the same size as the liger skull that epaiva posted a while ago although the liger skull is wider and a little bit shorter. I think Lionzilla skull could be a canned specimen judging from its width of the skull, despite the owner think that it is a wild specimen.

Correction : Lionzilla skull is from a wild specimen taken in 50s or 60s according to the owner of the original skull. As there is no canned lion hunting in Africa in the 50s or 60s as far as I know, so Lionzilla can be safely stated as a wild specimen. Reply
