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.

Well, the largest Amur tiger does have significantly larger canine teeth than the largest American lion, but we just couldn't figure the skull magnitude of the obscure monstrous Amur tiger.

@epaiva :

About #495: Can we tell without risk that panthera atrox had the biggest skull among all felines since the pleistocen period ? Compared with the Amur tiger it's eloquent ! Perhaps the Ngandong tiger...

Panthera atrox got same sized skull with Panthera spelaea, while Panthera fossilis got the largest skull of all felines.

@GrizzlyClaws

What is the estimated size head and body length excluding the tail and height at the shoulders of Panthera Atrox, Panthera Fossilis, Panthera Spelaea and Ngandong Tiger?

I think @tigerluver could help you more on this issue, while I am more specialized on the canine/claw.

About #495 photo:

When I see the pantera atrox's skull size, I think this felid has a really big skull. Considering his size and weight (between 250 and 350 kilos) the difference with the Amur tiger is clearly due to something else. Pantera Atrox is the only one big cat whose average skull size exceeds cheefully the 40 centimeters (46 cms) while the average Amur tiger's skull size in length is 38 cm. Really big difference (20%)...

If the size difference is 20%, the size difference in volume would be (1,2) x (1,2) x (1,2) = 1,728 i.e. 72,8 %. Let us admit 70 %. We are in an other scale...

Was this big cat an intellectual felid ?

Of course this big brain doesn't avoid to this big cat in disappearing.

From this, I would increase the mass of P. spelaea to around 340 kg based on the occurrence of larger femurs and skulls that approach P. fossilis in size.
