Identification of tiger and lion skulls: An illustrated guide for science and practice
Original language description
Tiger and lion bones are valuable subjects of trafficking. They can be easily interchanged. The aim of this study was to develop a methodology to quickly distinguish between tiger and lion skulls. From a number of features reported in the literature, a set of seven significant characters was identified that can be recognized even in photographs. A methodology for their assessment was developed. Using a combination of them allows for a very reliable morphological distinction between the two species. A new character, the greater palatine foramen ratio, of both adult and juvenile skulls, has not been described in the context of identification of tiger and lion skulls before.
