Because it has a larger skull,machairodonts have relatively small skulls to similar sized pantherines |

Is it just me, or does P. atrox’s skull looks like it rivals the short faced bear’s in size?

Female Cougar v Canadian Lynx A female puma – a successful mother Viv knows well from trail-cam snapshots over the years, distinctive for her lack of a black tail tip – wandered past the camera back in early September. Then, on December 4th, a Canada lynx trod the very same ground, providing an interesting visual comparison of these two cousins.   At first glance, the lynx and puma here look comparably sized, but there are a couple of things to keep in mind. First, we're looking at the mountain lion in svelte, late-summer pelage; the lynx, in turn, is swaddled in its plush winter coat, so some of its apparent heft is actually floof. And Canada lynx appear larger than they really are because of their disproportionately long legs – especially those almost jackrabbit-worthy hind limbs – and big feet: the equipment of a fine-tuned northern hunter. That said, Viv's camera likely captured a magnificent, silver-grey cat on the bigger end of the lynx spectrum. (A typical Canada lynx stands some 46 to 56 centimetres [18 to 22 in.] at the shoulder, compared to a puma's 63 to 76 cm [25 to 30 in.]; a big tom lynx usually tops out in the vicinity of 18 kilograms [40 lbs.], while a female mountain lion can weigh more than 45 kilograms [100 lbs.].) https://www.earthtouchnews.com/in-the-field/film-and-photo/stop-us-if-youve-heard-this-one-a-lynx-and-a-puma-walk-by-the-same-trail-camera/  You ever wondered whether you could tell a male from female mountain lion? In collaborative research between Craighead Beringia South and Panthera, Pete Alexander set trail cameras to count mountain lions. In this location F49, an adult female, and M85, an adult male walked by the exact same place in the exact same way--so we combined the pics so you can see the differences between them more clearly. M85 is in the back, F49 in front. https://www.facebook.com/TetonCougarProject/photos/a.576693285695294.1073741828.575979385766684/1743605632337381/?type=3&theater Edited by Taipan, Dec 19 2017, 04:18 PM.
