amur leopard 15 Feb 2021 The depressed Giant otter and devil Marbled cat are leaving us but at least we have this specimen to make up for them both.

Chlidonias 15 Feb 2021 @Ned the lower one slots up between the two upper ones - it is normal dentition for fur seals and sealions.

N N Ned 15 Feb 2021 @Chlidonias Thank you. That's weird because I even checked out some skull images before posting. Looking at them again and armed with this knowledge, I can see what you mean. They just seems much more obvious on the above specimen.

Chlidonias 15 Feb 2021 @Ned the sizes of the teeth vary between species, sex, age, and probably also individual variability.
