Yeah, I just saw his response on Instagram.

BTW, his tiger skull is 40 cm long and 29 cm wide in dimension, which is big by size, but extremely impressive in the width/length ratio.

However, I've seen some prehistoric tiger got even more impressive skull.

For example, this tiger skull got even rounder feature, much more robust snout/muzzle and canine alveoli.

It was a incredible skull, the size of its fangs must be huge Reply

His canine alveoli is huge, and it must host the huge canine teeth like this; with a diameter of 2 inches or 5 cm wide.

Sorry, I think those 16 inches and 15 inches skull belong to a same tiger so the skull length would be 15.75 inches and 11.5 inches wide.

Judging from their skull, I think this particular tiger is an old male Bengal tiger. Reply

The first pic shows the tiger head before it was cleaned and the other pic shows the tiger skull from side view. Reply

If this particular male tiger is an Indian specimen, there is no doubt that a large male Siberian tiger will attained a much larger skull. Reply

The huge skull from China seems to belong to the Amur lineage.

Thus, the skull got a rounder feature and broader snout/muzzle. Reply

I'm sorry @GrizzlyClaws I mean the tiger skull in my previous post. I think the owner of the tiger skull is a Bengal tiger judging by the appearance of its skull. Reply

Anyway, can anyone guess the measurements of the skull of Panthera t. acutidens that was posted by @GrizzlyClaws previously? @peter, any thoughts? Reply
