Manchurian Amur: 8.5 cm
Northern Bengal: 7.6 cm
African lion: 6.9 cm


The Northern Bengal was alleged to belong to a 300+ kg specimen, while the other two were unknown.

Is the 8.5cm claw the one above?
How do you know its from a Manchurian Amur?

What are the largest canines for the 3 species mentioned as well if you don't mind?
Thanks

The claw looks very similar to the replica Amur claw from the Bone Clones, just much bigger.

Also, almost all giant claws of the big cats possessed among the Chinese collectors belong to the Amur tigers, all other non-Amur big cat claws will be spontaneously labelled as Bengal or lion.


As for the canine teeth:

Amur: 16.8 cm
Bengal: 15.8 cm
Lion: 13.7 cm

The largest Amur tiger canine tooth is the famous one that is 2 inches wide, and I think many of you have already seen it.

As for the other two, I don't have the pic.

The 15.8 cm Bengal canine was alleged to belong to the same owner as the 7.6 cm Bengal claw, and the 13.7 cm lion canine was alleged to belong to a freak specimen. Reply
