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.

Is a mystery for my why this skull is ignored by many people. This specimen is bigger than the one from Uruguay but is not quoted in any other document.
So based in your appreciation, which I also share, Smilodon had an smaller head in relation with its body, which shows that the application of the formulas like that of Van Valkerburg (1990), which is the one used in the document of Manzuetti et al. (2020), will produce incorrect values. Is the same that using it with the skulls of lions and tigers, which do not have the same relation of skull and body.
hi, i read somewhere although i cant find it that there were injuries on the 392 mm populator skull and based off the shape of the injuries they may have been caused by the sabers of another smilodon, is that true?
