Hi @Vinay ,

You seem to got into some trouble again.

Let me share my take on this issue.
There are alot of stuff in the internet, but most of them are not scientific and unreliable.
Regarding the biteforce of bigcats in particular there are several debates and info presented all over the internet, but most of them are unreliable.
You see there are some scientific studies which are also cannot be considered reliable due to its limitations.

As far as i know there are a couple of scientific studies on biteforce alone which cannot be taken serious due to its limited sample size (one study used one sample per species which is highly unreliable).
There is also a study about muscle composition on bigcats which is also unreliable (1 or 2 subadult samples were used).
So this gives you an idea about the amount of unreliable data circulating on internet.

When you make a statement, using third party websites and fanboy videos (fanboys generally exaggerate minor differences into a major one) as proof is not the right approach.
You should back your claims with proper reliable scientific datas, first hand source materials, email replies from experts in that particular field etc.
Trust me that is the right approach.
Since you seem to be very much interested in bigcats biteforce, here is a very reliable study with several subspecies and several samples involved. Click the link below

If you are really interested in learning more about bigcats skull and canine morphology.
You can contact @peter  who as personally measured and weighed several tiger, lion, jaguar skulls.
Or you can contact @tigerluver  and @GrizzlyClaws  who as a vast library of reliable data and measurements on this subject.
I hope this post is helpful.


As a Global mod of this forum Im issuing you an official warning to stop repeating these mistakes again, if ignored it may lead to a ban.
I hope you understand the seriousness of the situation.


Thanks
