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.
6 inches is equivalent to 15.24 cm, and this fang is close 15 cm which means almost 6 inches.
I notice the Cave lion fang is straighter like the Amur tiger fang, and its root is not as narrow as that of the modern lions.
BTW, the Cave lion seems to have proportionally longer canines than the modern lions. A 40 cm modern lion skull has 12 cm canines, whereas a 38.5 cm Cave lion skull got 12.7 cm canines. So can you imagine the skull of the Cave lion that got 15 cm canines?
