I saw in the carnivora forum american lion vs grizzly bear that a user onlyfaizy786 claimed that there were 6 or 7 specimens that are larger than the 475 mm makhnevskaya cave lion skull, is that true or are they only claims, also what was waveriders saying about about the 192 mm mt3 specimen having a skull length of around 525 mm is that accurate, ive never seen these specimens said to be larger than the 475 mm skull being mentioned until now

I was reading the posts of that person in Carnivora, specifically those from that topic and he never mentioned anything of "6 or 7 specimens", in fact, his previous post only copy-paste some information provided by Waveriders in 2012 and although Waveriders mentions that "bigger" specimens may exist, he based his statement in limb bones, not skulls. At the end, I don't see anything suggesting that are 6-7 bigger skulls out there and this person 2ZB is the one that mentions this.

Certainly the use of an old post with no update in the information (2012), from a cryptic/unreliable poster (Waveriders) and an incorrect interpretation (2ZB) cause confusion, from my point of view. Reply
