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.

Here is a canine tooth from a large Panthera spelaea specimen from the Western Europe.
You can see it is shorter but proportionally more robust.
It got thinning root just like the typical lion canine teeth, thus not well proportioned like those tiger-ish canine teeth.

It is possible that the Siberian Cave lions used to produce more tiger-ish canine teeth than their European cousins? Because of the geographical proximity with the tigers, hence the Siberian Cave lions also shared more convergent morphology with the tigers?
