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.
Like guate stated, there is nothing in regards to "shoulder bumps" and if you want give factual distinctions in morphology, than the Tiger has significantly larger forearms, biceps, and rear quarters and neck I believe, Tigers also have the Largest Canines amongst Big cats and claws. They are longer in body while slightly shorter in shoulder height but its almost identical.Chest girth is nearly the same and I also have questions on how they actually get chest and neck girth of a lion since its mane would likely add to its dimensions.
There has been nothing about organ size, since the only recorded size of a tiger came from captive or circus tigers which are not actual tigers since they are not pure bred. The study also showed significant difference between captive and wild organs in lions so the same would be said for tigers.
I believe tigers have the heaviest skulls and widest while lions have the longest skulls but Peter said Siberians had longer skulls I believe. Once again, there is simply not enough skulls to compare since most large skulls are in private collections.
The bengal tiger is the largest tiger in body weight and overall body girth not the Amur.
Be careful how you distinguish lion subspecies since there is no real evidence that actually distinguishes a barbary from indian from african from atlas etc. Its still a highly contested debate.
