Although the longest skull of the Panthera spelaea fossilis is 485mm, but it was proportionally narrower and less robust.


 

100% true. In one occasion, I write to them, showing that the skull size of the Longdang “tiger” (Panthera zdanskyi) in the web page was smaller than the one in the document. They answer was that the sizes on the webpage are “approximations” of the real size.
 
So, the Panthera  atrox skull of 467.5 mm, which is 18.4 inches, was approximated at 19 inches in the page, but this is NOT the real size of the skull. [img]images/smilies/angry.gif[/img]
 
I suggest to do not use the sizes in Bone Clones or in any other page, unless than the given figures were in centimeters, millimeters or at least, just like the one of the scientific documents.
 

 

The producer probably has the difficulty to convert cm/mm into inch.

It is 46.75/2.5 = 18.7, and voila with round up they got a 19 inches skull.

An inch is actually 2.54cm, but i think they have rounded up this as well.

That 19 inches skull is virtually impossible for any cat in the history, and even the largest Cromerian lion has reached this length, but still nowhere close to the overall dimension.
