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.

@phatio , thank you for the great information and I hope you have been well!

Based on the thinness of the canines in the lateromedial directions as well as the incomplete eruption, the tiger likely was around 1.5-2.5 years.

Note the lateromedial thinness of the canine, akin to the tiger in your shared article. This cat was younger than 2 years of age.
