Biggest Kaziranga tiger?

[Pantherinae]

'Pckts dateline='' Wrote: I have seen no more broken teeth in tigers or lions. In fact, 99% of tigers have their teeth in tact minus "Brookentooth" obviously, machlis teeth are worn down from over the years. I have also heard of many lions with broken teeth as well.
But tigers do have much larger teeth and stronger according to data. But even so, I'd imagine a lone predator would use its teeth in more violent situations than a pride lion who would probably not take such a beating on its teeth as often.

 

I have actually seen some pictures of tigers missing a canine, but not often, can also have something to do with male lions not hunting that often, but lions do use their jaws much when fighting. Thats how fang lost his canine!
