What is the width of its muzzle in inches and mm? The width from its right canine tooth to its left canine?

For Panthera atrox, the widest muzzles (135.9 mm & 141.4 mm) belong to specimen 14001 of University of California (467.5 mm at GSL) & specimen 2900-3 (458 mm at GSL) respectively.

For Panthera spelaea, the widest muzzles belong to San River specimen (451 mm at GSL & 138 mm for muzzle) and Mokhnevskaya Cave specimen (475 mm at GSL & 138 mm for muzzle).

Thanks, what about the widest big cat skulls? 12 inches or more?

I think it should be the 467.5 mm skull from University of California, and its zygomatic width is around 12 inches. Reply
