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.

Although, this was placed on a Ngandong tiger skull, which looks to have different ratios from the rest of the subspecies. Is there an image of an actual Amur skull we can use (not those market replicas).
Although we currently don't have any comparison with the actual Amur skull.
However, we are heading to the right direction, it was likely a male Amur from the Harbin breeding center in China, and the employees of there probably didn't abide the law by selling the body parts of the dead tigers under the table.
And now I am wondering that could the extra heavy canines that allowed tiger to deliver a quick shot against its preys?
Since we usually saw the tigers used to dispatch its preys much faster than lions did, maybe it is the different weaponry.
