    I love the suspense of "omg, what's the difference between these two animals! I can't recall which has a tiny dangly protrusion at the back of the skull!"
    Meawhile lions are literally three times the size of leopards.

    Stubby snout, huge canines? Knew from the thumbnail this was a big cat. And when your hands entered the frame and the size of the thing was revealed it was instantly narrowed down to either a lion or a tiger. Uganda? Lion. Easy. Seven seconds. And I know you got it that quickly too, being a dead animal specialist. Nice acting :)

    Holy crap, I got it at 107. So having been an artist for over 25 years, I have been working on my construction and deconstruction skills for a VERY long time. In order to draw anatomy well, yoy have to be able to see through things sometimes, to their base construction. Likewise, you can see something like a skull and based on the shapes, you can sometimes to often guess with some quite impressive accuracy whay specimen it came from. So I really like this game. I have only been able to correctly deduce 2 of the animals, but they were both animals I would have guessed without your verbal deconstruction. Whe you were talking about it being a carnivore, I was already going through my catalogue of African animals with super canines. When you said "bear or hyena" I was beginning to second guess myself but didn't knownof any african bears off hand, and knew it wasn't canine enough to be a hyena. That said, it tripped me up as many car skulls are even less canine looking than this one. I just knew it didn't seem long enough to me to be in that family.
    That all said, I don't mean to imply in any way that I think I'm at all better than anyone at this. I'm excited mostly because I didn't think I would ever get any of them lol. So I'm just really excited and impressed with myself haha.
    Edit: I knew also that it wasn't the other cat breeds because the triangular prism like top of it's head is that way to allow for big meaty head muscles the likes of which give Lions their massive squishy, cuddly looking heads.

    I'm not a expert like you, I'm just an artist, but I LOVE big cats and have studies their features a lot to be able to draw them properly. So I knew almost instantly it was a Lion when you said it comes from Africa! 🦁💖
    However, I did question myself for a few seconds when you mentioned Leopards (I forgot they lived in Africa for a second there lol 😅)
    But I noticed that that skull looks too big for a Leopard, and the canines are too thick/wide compared to those of a Leopard. 😋
    And I ruled out the Cheetah right away, even before you said "Africa", because they have very small skull that are much more rounded in shape to be more aerodynamic! 😁🐆
