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.

I don't think that those large skulls were actually measured, but just gathered from literature. Longest skulls measured by scientists are of 383 mm and 408 mm, for tiger and lion respectively. The figure of 420 mm for lion came from a hunting record (although accepted by Hemmer).

We need the document for more details.
