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.

Did you observed those animals personally? From your observation, can you guesstimate which animals possessed the largest skulls and tallest shoulder height? Is it the lions or the tigers?

Yes, I have seen those animals in persona many times. Biggest skull...perhaps that white kruger, but that white bengal could be close. But I dont really know and I have never been interested in this. For me they all have basically same skulls (with somewhat different shapes)

Shoulder height: amur tigers and white bengals are obviously taller and longer than east african lions (at least in this zoo). But that kruger male is comparable to them when it comes to shoulder height. But tigers (especially amur) are longer than him.
