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.

(The Liger skull is 17.5 inches long, the American Lion is 19 inches long) Which length wise, they’re similar, but height of the skulls and general build is quite a bit different. Noticeably, fabulous large cheekbones.
This Liger skull was listed on ebay as “VERY ENORMOUS LIGER SKULL REPLICA” so it’s also safe to say this specimen might be a bit of an outlier. That being said how does it compare to other animals?

Liger v 18 ft alligator skull, they’re the same length. (the alligator might have ¼th of an inch on it)

Liger V Zebra - the skull of the zebra is deceptive and slopes up but they’re also the same size.
