"a boy was walking by the River Fowey when he discovered a large cat skull. ... the skull was minus its lower jaw but possessed two sharp, prominent incisors that suggested that it might have been a leopard."

Should this read "two sharp, prominent canines"? (Incisors are the smaller "front teeth", and canines are the large "fangs".) Cats normally have three incisors on each side in both the upper and lower jaws (thus this skull minus its lower jaw would have been expected to have six incisors and two canines.)
