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.

The biggest skull from this species, measured by scientists and published, it was an specimen labeled as Machairodus horribilis and measured 415 mm in greatest length (Tao et al., 2016). Appart from it, other specimens measure about 36 cm.

In the same paper, they use the formula of Van Valkenburg (1990) and got an estimated weight of 405 kg. However remember that this formula overestimage the weight of cats. A felid with such a skull may weight about 300 - 350 kg in the best case and taking in count that Machairodus and Amphimachairodus was robust (based in other bones).

Can you show us the skull, document or webpage about that skull of 457 mm for this species?
