This is comparable in size to the much later Smilodon populator. [20] Its skull, measuring upwards of 16 inches (41 cm) in length, is one of the largest known skulls for any machairodont, with only a recently described S. populator skull rivaling it in size, with the latter cat outweighing A. horribilis at 960 lb (440 kg).
