Essay? It's not that long of a read and you can always skip to the results. Measuring a zoo cat is also misleading since there are variances between captive and wild skulls same with muscle mass.

Are you expecting lower or higher psi for lions?? As a semi scavenger in African savanna it is more than enough for lions.

Zoo animals findings are more reliable than fiber in any day.BTW did you read the report? in the report no Panthera Leo  and no Panthera Tigris Tigris or Panthera Tigris Altica are measured.

What a stupid answer ! About the african lions:
1) false assertion: the  scavengers have often, if not always, the strongest bites.
2) what you think is not an approved scientific fact. Only a biased opinion.

Yeah they're both going to have a similar bite force considering their head size.  Its also not just about the bite hold, but how you bite, lions are better biters with their jaws then tigers.  A lion can bite in multiple places before you even know what happened, and then hes gone.  If the tigers going for that bite, its going to clutch and try to hold on usually, the lion will bite in so many different ways in so many different places stepping back from the opponent to protect itself and then going back in.  You see this with gang ups, each lion takes its turn going in for a bite then ripping and shaking the head to inflict more damage, then they jump back.
