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 see. We shouldn't depending too much on official record of skull sizes though as there are always larger skulls out there. For example, according to the official scientific records the largest lion skull is 406 mm long and around 279-280 mm wide but then there is the Lionzilla skull which exceeded those dimensions. I think same goes to tigers.

Anyway, I think the average difference between greatest skull length and head length is not that different. Take a look at the pictures below. Most X-rays of big cats too show there is no big difference between skull length and head length.

EDIT : The first picture I think shows an apparent difference between head length and skull length though
