Hi Tim!

Well the bengal tiger skin I have, {without head} is 11ft long & 8ft wide so if I stuck that skull on it it would appar very small & deformed, it appers probably the size of a great dane on average rather than the true master of the jungle!

so guess the pix you show are from a young, specimien?

must admit most of the skulls & teeth I have seen where probably trophy specimiens , & obviously kittens {is that the correct term?} & runts existed side by side, {well teritorialy not , I suppose actuly?}

I notice the bone devolopment on your specimen above front teeth appears different from , either the tiger or snow leopard, looks decidly stiff upper lip, with depth before the nostril point?

I am fascinated by these teeth, bone & wonder what a zoo veternarian could impart in factual knowledge to us?

Any zoos near you?
