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.

The Northern Bengal was alleged to belong to a 300+ kg specimen, while the other two were unknown.

Is the 8.5cm claw the one above?
How do you know its from a Manchurian Amur?

What are the largest canines for the 3 species mentioned as well if you don't mind?
Thanks

The claw looks very similar to the replica Amur claw from the Bone Clones, just much bigger.

Also, almost all giant claws of the big cats possessed among the Chinese collectors belong to the Amur tigers, all other non-Amur big cat claws will be spontaneously labelled as Bengal or lion.


As for the canine teeth:

Amur: 16.8 cm
Bengal: 15.8 cm
Lion: 13.7 cm

The largest Amur tiger canine tooth is the famous one that is 2 inches wide, and I think many of you have already seen it.

As for the other two, I don't have the pic.

The 15.8 cm Bengal canine was alleged to belong to the same owner as the 7.6 cm Bengal claw, and the 13.7 cm lion canine was alleged to belong to a freak specimen.

The Amazing claws! As I had speculated, tiger's claws can reach more than 8.5cm.

What is your size estimation? Maybe 8.5 cm is still a conservative figure.

Hello everybody

I have a little question regarding a Lion teeth Pendent.
I bought a Pendent with a Lion teeth from a good friend.
There I saw a little dark line. (please check attached image.)

*This image is copyright of its original author


Now my question:
Maybe this lion has died with the old (I have read lion can live about 20 years) and these teeth will get older and its going to died as well. Is it so?
If yes, then the teeth will produce bacteria, and may I NOT wear them?
Or can I wear it for future?
Or this dard line is just a natural and I may have to clean them?

Does anyone have an idea?

Many thanks for your help.

cheers

I need to see the whole canine, and yours only got the crown part which is hard to distinguish.

For now, I can only say it is likely the crown part of a big cat canine, but the root part is significant to distinguish between lion and tiger.

As for the preservation of the tooth, I think you need to consult to those taxidermy forums.
