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.

Lion looks to be of the Nubican/East African subspecies, which explains its smaller facial area (probably) for the same relative age as the tiger.
The size of their skulls are still relatively close, they overlap and sometimes they alternate.
A lion may have a longer skull on average but that doesn't mean that tigers don't surpass lion skull size at times. It's always about individuals, tigers have reached the 16'' mark before and if the library of skulls were larger, they'd probably have many more.
