Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore they are seldom without a set of teeth. Tigers have the largest canines of all big cat species ranging in size from 6.4 to 7.6 centimeters (2.5 to 3.0 in) in length. The canines have abundant pressure-sensing nerves that enable the tiger to identify the location needed to sever the neck of its prey.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tigers are the largest cat species in the world. Amur tigers (sometimes called Siberian tigers) are the biggest tigers, with males weighing up to 660 pounds and measuring up to 10 feet long from nose to tip of the tail.

Detailed explanation-3: -Clouded Leopards have an exceptional ability to open their jaws nearly 90 degrees, compared to most cats at roughly 65 degrees, and elongated canine teeth measuring up to 2 inches in length. This gives the clouded leopard the longest fangs of any cat, relative to the overall size of its body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The largest big cat is the Siberian tiger, which can weigh an astonishing 660 pounds and stretch more than 10 feet nose to tail.

Detailed explanation-5: -Tigers have longer canine teeth than other big cats. The crown of an upper canine in a fully grown tiger can be nearly 8cm long! Between the long, sharp canines and the back teeth, there’s a space called a diastema. This helps tigers to bite into their prey more efficiently.
