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.

Now that you mention this, by chance do you have the document where this skull is described, or at least you know its size?

As far I know this is a giant jaguar from Talara, Peru, the one that was believed it was from Panthera atrox. I used the scale provided and I got a GSL of c.33 cm, but I don't know for sure.
I think the description is in a master's thesis by Seymour from 1983. Problem is, it's no where online. Maybe contacting Dr. Seymour could give us some luck.
