Big cat skull
Big cat skull. Side (lateral) view of the skull of a big cat with its jaws wide open. The big cats, which include tigers and lions, are carnivores and have large elongated canines (pointed front teeth) typical of predators that hunt their food. The eye sockets in big cats are smaller, relative to skull sizes, than the eye sockets of a domestic cat. The hinge mechanism of the jaws is clearly seen here, allowing the large gape necessary for large cats to subdue their prey. The upwards-pointing section of the lower jaw bone (mandible) swings back into the space behind the cheek bone (zygoma) when the jaw closes. The hollow on the mandible is where parts of the powerful jaw muscles are found

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a big cat skull, offering a mesmerizing glimpse into the world of these powerful predators. In this lateral view, the jaws are wide open, revealing their large elongated canines that are characteristic of carnivores like tigers and lions. These pointed front teeth serve as lethal weapons for hunting and subduing prey. Notably, the eye sockets in big cats appear relatively smaller compared to their skull sizes when compared to domestic cats. This adaptation reflects their exceptional focus on hunting prowess rather than relying heavily on visual acuity. The photograph also highlights the remarkable hinge mechanism of the jaws, allowing for an impressive gape necessary to overpower larger prey. The lower jaw bone (mandible) exhibits an upward-pointing section that swings back behind the cheek bone (zygoma) when closing its mouth. Within the hollow space on the mandible lies parts of incredibly powerful jaw muscles essential for delivering fatal bites. This image serves as a testament to nature's design and evolution at work in creating such efficient killing machines. Immerse yourself in this fascinating snapshot from Science Photo Library, where wild beauty meets zoological marvels - capturing both our awe and respect for these majestic creatures.
