American Lion (Panthera atrox)

[Spalea]

I also believe that the pantera Atrox, the American lion, was indeed a very performing feline. It's a fact that very few atrox's bones have been found in natural traps as Tar pits, thus perhaps it was able to avoid them. But unlucky for this felid, it will have not survived climatic change involving growing big preys scarcity and the men invasion. As Brotherbear said, the only one big ungulates having survived were the elks and the American buffalos. As for the natural predators wolves and grizzly bears.
