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.

So would you agree if I estimate the average for males from 243 to 268 kg and max from 317 to 384 kg?


That is fair.

@epaiva, I recall you had a nice table of your skull collection measurements and had P. atrox over 460 mm. Do you have a photo of the skull measured with a ruler for scale? It would be great for some comparisons. Thank you!

@tigerluver It isn't a website, as far I know. Ray Urbaniak and I are both in the "Pleistocene Megafauna" Facebook group where he shared some of these petroglyphs. He has a pdf of them, though I think I posted the most promising ones.

That's an exaggerative value.
