The Panthera atrox average weight could up to 250—270kg, while the big population could up to 300kg even more，it's a supersize carnivore，the only shortage in body hardware may just the canines not  large like the whole body size, however, Atrox had the most powerful bite in feline which the bite force could over 1800 pounds, it means nearly more twice than modern lion and tiger.
