So, I Have These Mountain Lion Teeth...

[Howard1955]

...that I'm planning to give to a boy on his 9th birthday.



After cleaning the teeth, they have a big hollow space in them where the roots were. I'm wondering what I should put into those spaces to strengthen the teeth. Any suggestions?

I looked at the Devcon, and the specs say it dries to a dark color. Think I need something that's clear or white when it cures. I'll look for a clear epoxy.

Ask your dentist. Mine would probably love to fill those just for the heck of it.

 

[Howard1955]

I found some Devcon that's supposed to be clear when it dries. Will give it a try.

Ummm, that is an awesome birthday present. (I'm a little jealous.)

How about installing an eyelet in the end of the tooth when using the epoxy, or maybe something like the pic below.

Very nice. I'll probably let him and his Dad decide how they want to use them. Maybe I'll show them that picture.

Bear teeth and cat teeth look that similar? sorry from the EastCoast

 

[Howard1955]

Fairly similar. I wouldn't want either one of them chewing on me. Bear teeth are probably going to be quite a bit larger. But these teeth are from a young lion - not more than 2 years old, so on the small side.

Out of curiosity, any idea what happened to the original owner of those teeth? Just wonder if there's a story behind them.

We had some trappers working on the farm earlier this year. Going after coyotes, and accidentally caught this young cougar. He was 70" long, 86 pounds, and maybe 2 years old according to ODFW. One of the worst things to have around if you're raising chickens.

They didn't catch any coyotes on our place, but told me they'd taken 60 in the surrounding areas.

@slimer13 , the Devcon was the perfect thing once I found the clear stuff. Thanks.
