Not long ago I asked Mr Alan Stout about the size of Panthera atrox skeleton he owns, attached is the information I received from him.

Mr. Alan Stout,

Congratulations for your great page and incredible fossils that you offer, Mr Alan Stout I love African Lions and Prehistoric Lions too. I was looking for information of size of Panthera Atrox skeletons and was very lucky to find your page and pictures of your super Skeleton: 
I will really appreciate if you can send  information of your great Skeleton of Panthera Atrox.

The information is:

1) Head and body length excluding the tail.
2) Height at the shoulders.
3) Size of the Skull.
4) Estimated weight of the Skeleton you mounted.
5) Sex of the specimen your mounted skeleton.

I will be waiting for your valuable information.

Thank You Very Much 

Regards,

Edouard Paiva
