The Panthera atrox is an extinct cat. This cat lived in North America during the Pleistocene epoch. It lived about 340,000 to 11,000 years ago.

Scientists have found its fossils from Alaska to Mexico. This cat was about 25 percent larger than the modern lion of today. That size makes it one of the largest known cats in history.

The Panthera atrox measured 5 feet to 8 feet long. This measurement goes from the nose to the base of the tail. The cat stood 3.9 feet tall at the shoulder.

Scientists recovered 80 individual skeletons from the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles. Their features strongly resemble modern lions but were much larger.

Caves in Argentine Patagonia hold preserved skin and bones. This skin indicates that the animal had reddish fur. Cave paintings from El Ceibo confirm this color.
