Longdan Tiger
Longdan tiger: Early Pleistocene of Asia (China, about 2.55–2.16 million years ago)
from the Gansu province of northwestern China, the skull of which is dating to the Gelasian stage of the earliest Pleistocene, about 2.5 million years ago.
The skull is a little smaller than the head of today's tigers - about the size of a jaguar - but it's very recognisable as the same species we know today. It's the oldest complete skull ever discovered of a 'pantherine' big cat
Body: conspicuously long, large upper canines which proportionally outsize those of jaguars, leopards and lions and even a bit longer than tigers. Apart from elongated upper canines, there seems to be several morphological characteristics such as relatively elongated and prognathoustic muzzle, the less domed 'forehead
It seems likely that this tiger's diet would have been similar to that of today's and would have included ungulates such as deer and pigs.
