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 largest Panthera atrox skull "Univ. Calif. 14001" is of 135.9 mm.
Except the obscure Chinese specimen, the specimen 2900-3 has the broadest muzzle of all.
Since Panthera atrox was highly convergent with Panthera onca, so I am not surprising that they had also evolved with massive robust snout.
Well,so 480MM Panthera atrox's skull muzzle would be the broadest one in all of the feline? The 475MM Panthera spalea's skull is a private specimen but recognized officially
If it got the same proportion as the specimen 2900-3, then yes.
