A separate study found American lions were more sexually dimorphic than modern lions in terms of size: American lion males being 1.4 times larger than females, compared to modern male lions being 1.26 times larger. [27] In 2008, the American lion was estimated to weigh up to 420 kg (930 lb).
Following list contains size (weight and length) measurements for wild adult males of each species: Rank Common name ... Lion: Panthera leo: 160–195 [8] [9] (352-429)
In 1987, it was found that most lions in North American zoos were hybrids between African and Asiatic lions. [221] Breeding programs need to note origins of the participating animals to avoid cross-breeding different subspecies and thus reducing their conservation value. [ 222 ]
Homotherium reached 1.1 m (3 ft 7 in) at the shoulder and weighed an estimated 190 kg (420 lb) and was therefore about the size of a male lion. [43] [44] Compared to Smilodon, the legs were proportionally longer, and the forelimbs were less powerfully built, being narrow and intermediate in form between those of cheetahs and lions. The neck was ...
It stood taller than the African Lion at 5 foot (1.7M) and 11.5 foot (3.5M) in length from nose to tail and weighing about 700-800 lbs on average, with great examples ...
The Late Pleistocene Panthera spelaea spelaea was noticeably smaller though still large relative to living cats, with an estimated length of 2–2.1 metres (6.6–6.9 ft) and shoulder height of 1.1–1.2 metres (3.6–3.9 ft), respectively, The species showed a progressive size reduction over the course of the Last Glacial Period up until its ...

There are five living species: the jaguar, leopard, lion, snow leopard and tiger, as well as a number of extinct species, including the cave lion and American lion.
The BFQ was first applied by Wroe et al. (2005) in a paper comparing bite forces, body masses and prey size in a range of living and extinct mammalian carnivores, later expanded on by Christiansen & Wroe (2007). [2] Results showed that predators that take relatively large prey have large bite forces for their size, i.e., once adjusted for ...
