There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Panthera fossilis
Machairodus lahayishupup
Amphimachairodus giganteus
are definitely larger in body mass.
Don't forget Smilodon populator (which certainly was the heaviest of all) and the Pleistocene tigers Panthera tigris soloensis (from Java) and the still unnamed giant tiger from Borneo.
It seems that several felids from the past did reached the 400 kg mark.
Yeah, Smilodon populator definitely does, the Giant Borneo tiger would as well, I just need a bit of information on the tiger.
