The post #145 has both lion upper/lower canines being weighed.

And the canine density formula for the older male lion is 4 inches/50 grams, and the younger male lion's canine should weigh much less because of the cavity inside the canine.

Based on a this formula, a 5 inches older male lion canine should weigh around 50 * 1.25^3 = 97.65625. So an extra large male lion canine could weigh up to 100 grams. Reply
