Do African Lions upper fangs get only a little bit larger than this one in the wild?

It is about the size of the average wild male African lions.

@GrizzlyClaws

Thanks a lot my Friend

Around 9 cm, most Brown bears from Eurasia do not have the claws that exceed 10 cm.

Only the North American Grizzly bears can grow with huge claws that exceed 10 cm, and the largest I've seen by photo is 12 cm.

The crown does look a bit worn down.

I guess it should belong to an adult Indochinese tigress due its slender form.

@GrizzlyClaws :

About #572: By seeing these cave lions' fangs, we can clearly identifiate them as being some lion's fangs and not tiger's fangs. Thus the cave lion was clearly a lion, not a tiger... There was not so much time ago, the question was asked.

I don't remember if we spoke about that, but being quite able to identifiate the lion's fangs with the tiger's fangs, there is not any mystery, logicaly, about the cave lion's filiation.

Based on many empirical observations, the lion canines can be distinguished from the tiger canines by its narrower root, because the broader nasal structure has restricted the room for the growth of the canine root for the lion.

Unless some Cave lion did convergently evolve with some morphological traits of the tiger. For example, with the tiger-like narrower nasal structure, this could perhaps provide the broader canine root for those atypical Cave lions. Oddly, the modern lions did not develop with this kind of convergent morphological traits. Perhaps, the different lion lineages had developed the different evolutionary traits.

@epaiva

It does look almost identical except the size, 12 cm vs 14 cm.
