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.

Left: female leopard skull
Right: male leopard skull

The male leopard skull isn't measured but the female skull is; 199mm long (zygomatics are broken therefore width isn't measured)

Based on the 199 mm length of the female skull, I've used a scale to try to measure the one of the male. While there could be a little of distance and angle that could mess up the measurents, what I got is that the skull of the male might be allegedly in the 275-278 mm range, which is obviously above average so that's a large male.

Of course these are just estimates and nothing confirmed

A large male jaguar no doubt.

The largest upper canine for the male could reach up to 10 cm.

Two premolars P4 of the late Pleistocene tigers in the Southwest region of China. @tigerluver 

These specimens could be the close relatives of the contemporary giant Bornean tigers.
