To answer your ...This was really fun to read, Dawn! To answer your question about the Tiger head size, I think it has something to do with how they develop? I remember reading that the cannibalistic variants of the juveniles have wider, bigger heads and jaws.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08592321049376066867noreply@blogger.com
