- The density of the canine is based on the volume and solidness. The robust canine is denser than the slender canine, and the solid canine is denser than the hollow canine. The robustness of canine depends among different individuals or gender, while the hollowness depends on the age of the individuals, the older individuals always got less cavity inside.


- As for the leopard which I forgot to answer previously, all leopard canines seem to be slender so far which I have yet to see a particularly robust specimen.

That is interesting. I mean the way the hollowness reduces with age. In humans I assume they become weak with age meaning the cavity may not decrease atleast with age. May be the experience and expertise of using them makes them harder leading to decrease in hollow space.
It seems there is a rhythm in nature through which canines become robust, the rythm may be achieved only through invincibility through whatever they face including competitors, surroundings, prey etc
Only if emerged victorious invincibly through this long process the offspring of this successful animal seem to develop compact canines. Leapords seem to fail through this process as they are relatively weaker than jaguar, lead style of escaping bigger predators like lion and tiger. Though they are top predators in some eco systems their instincts does not seem to fade away like fearing bigger predators. That may be the reason for their slender canines. At least for some reason they are unable to achieve invincibility as they may be poor swimmers or unable to hunt in water. Jaguars on other hand seem to have achieved the invincibility through whatever they came across. Reply
