¨I've taken the time to take a look at my database provided by multiple zoological collections and this is what I found: 

The ranking as per the forelimb bones: 
1. Panthera onca 
2. Panthera Spelaea 
3. Neofelis 
4. Panthera tigris 
5. Panthera leo 

The difference between Onca and the Cave lion was limited, and the former showed slightly more developed muscle attachment. The difference in between Panthera tigris and panthera leo was very little, but the former had muscle attachments that exceeded the latter by a sizeable amount. 

Panthera onca had the widest ribcage followed by panthera spelaea. 

The difference between hindlimb robusticity was barely noticeable between the 5 species. 

Bengal tigers showed slightly bulkier builds than siberian tigers but they did not have more robust bones.

¨I am not allowed to disclose the exact sample sizes but i can tell you that all of them combined into one would normally result in over 60 specimens.

I think that jaguars deserve more respect and attention. They are a tank in the cat family. Reply
