American Lion: Fossil American Lion Skull (Felis atrox) cast replica (plus shipping)

Felis atrox was the largest lion to have ever existed, this individual weighing an estimated 900 pounds. Found only in the western hemisphere, this specimen came from the La Brea tar pits. The American lion was about one third larger than its African relative. They were taller, with longer legs proportionally and a slightly broader muzzle than the African lion. It is likely that they had the male's bushy mane and tufted tail in common. Metal stand (not shown) is available separately. (Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History specimen a portion of the sales goes to further their work.)

Skull measures: 19" long, 12" wide, 9" high

Cave Lion skull: Panthera spelaea

These large, conical-toothed cats of the North American Ice Age were a relative of the present day African Lion, Panthera leo. This specimen was found by a local Yupik Eskimo from an area near Nome, Alaska. Recent studies have suggested that some of these species actually showed more tiger-like features than lion-like.

Cheetah Return to Top of page



Cheetah Skull cast replica

Africa's 10,000-12,000 remaining cheetahs are found only in scattered areas of sub-Sahara, with a remnant population of less than 100 in Iran. Their long legs, deep chest, long flexible spine and semi-retractable claws provide them the resources to claim the title of "fastest land animal" by running at speeds of up to 55 mph for short sprints. Cheetahs have long tails, short, coarse coats with small black spots, and weigh between 60 and 130 pounds, with males being slightly larger than females. They have small heads with high set eyes that are underscored by large, black teardrop shaped spots that help deflect the blazing glare of the sun. Their short muzzles contain upper canine teeth with foreshortened roots that provide them with room for a larger nasal aperture. This arrangement allows them to maintain a firm grasp on the prey's throat and yet still breathe well enough themselves to recover from their intense run.

Dinictis was a small, primitive cat from the Oligocene. This extinct, sabertooth cat had a sleek body, short legs, powerfully-muscular jaws, a small brain (in a 7 inch long skull), large canine teeth, and a long tail. Dinictis was plantigrade, walking in a flat-footed manner (unlike modern cats, which are probably much faster, digitigrade, walking on their toes). Dinictis, like modern cats, had three eyelids, the third one being a nictitating membrane (or haw). Dinictis was very similar to Hoplophoneus (the ancestor of smilodon) except the canine teeth were less exaggerated. Dinictis may have preyed upon Indricotherium.

In Eurasia it survived until much later. The last scimitar cat survived in North America until a few thousand years ago.

Liger Return to Top of page



Liger skull cast

The liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion and a female tiger. It is denoted scientifically as Panthera tigris × Panthera leo.

A liger resembles a lion with diffused stripes. They are the largest cats in the world, although the Siberian Tiger is the largest pure sub-species. Like tigers, but unlike lions, ligers enjoy swimming. A similar hybrid, the offspring of a male tiger and a female lion is called a tigon.

Rare reports have been made of tigresses mating with lions in the wild. Under exceptional circumstances it has been known for a tiger to be forced into ranges inhabited by the Asiatic Lion, Panthera leo persica; however, this combination of species in the wild is considered highly unlikely. The present-day ranges of wild lions and tigers no longer overlap.

The skull is 16 5/8" long by 10 7/8" wide

Machairodus was a genus of large, machairodontine saber-toothed cats that lived in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. Species of Machairodus expressed great variation in size and proportions, with the largest being about the size of a lion. They all possessed serrated edges on their large canine teeth, though these wore down within a few years of the creature's life.

Machairodus giganteus.

Machairodus giganteus. Age: Late Miocene, China. This cat was about the size of a lion, but with a longer muzzle and narrower skull. Machairodus is an excellent example of a saber-toothed cat. Found throughout the world, this Eurasian species had coarse serrations on its incisors, sabers and carnassials. Interestingly, this particular specimen, when alive, had a severe nasal infection and a broken and worn left saber. As a result, its condition may have diminished its capability to hunt and kill its prey.

Metailurus is a genus of false saber-toothed cats belonging to the tribe Metailurini that lived in Europe and Asia.

Metailurus is known as a "false sabertooth" cat because, instead of true saberteeth, it has a cross between long, flat and blade-like saberteeth and the shorter cone-shaped teeth of modern-day felines. The canines are longer than even the Clouded Leopard but significantly shorter than true saber teeth and more conical than bladed. Due to the fragmentary nature of Metailurus fossils, the number of species is subject to debate.

Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Chordata, Class: Mammalia, Order: Carnivora, Family: Felidae, Subfamily: Felinae, Tribe: Metailurini, Genus: Metailurus

Adelphailurus kansensis saber-tooth cat
Rare Adelphailurus kansensis Saber-Tooth Cat

Species: Adelphailurus kansensis saber-tooth cat

Species description: This the rarest of all saber-cats found in USA. They were the size of a modern cougar or puma. This cat was a false – saber-tooth cat and had retained a upper second pre-molar, which is unusual for a cat. It was the second largest of late Miocene cats and was an Eurasian immigrant. It was a metailurus animal, which besides this species and one other was only found in Asia and a few in Europe. It is not one of top 6 saber-cats found and has only been found in partials with top of skull never been found according to all known documents. It was identified by Hilbert in 1934. Only a few skull pieces and few partial bones (humerus, radius, ulna, first phalanx) have been found. Though named after the state of Kansas, most bones and skull pieces were actually found in Arizona including this one. There has also been one found in Bone Valley Florida.

Geological formation: Milk Creek Formation

Miocene Early Hempghillan Tribe-Metailurini Genus: Metailurus

Item location: Congress Junction, Arizona

11" long x 7" agape Adelphailurus kansensis saber-tooth cat. This skull is about 40% original making it one of the most complete skulls found. This is unreal and you may never find another. Original parts include 3 jaws with 3 of 4 molar teeth groupings original and back of cat including condyles and strip of skull with one saber original and both lower end canine incisors. There has not been a complete top of the skull found. But since this is a member of metailurus we could reconstruct it based on those skulls. This is a real beauty and professionally prepped. Complete skulls of this species do not exist. This is an accurate representation of the species. This is a chance to own the rarest of rare saber cats and much larger than earlier saber-tooth cats.
