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.

Probably about the same weight of the largest Panthera atrox specimens, which is up to 351 kg. With a basilar length of 380 mm (GSL is unknown and was not estimated by the authors in the paper), it is just surpassed by two Panthera atrox skulls (2900-3 with 388 mm & Univ.calif-14001 with 404.7 mm) and a few other Cave lion specimens from Eurasia.
