It looks quite fluffy for a jaguar.

Thanks!
Yeah, the folks over at Discord thought that it would have an aesthetic please to give it a tiger mane, since it's also a solitary felid of great size, but who knows.

Given that it lived on the Southern pampas during the ice age a fluffy coat for specimens living in this areas seems likely.

Β If your "puny" modern jaguar can chomp crocodiles for supper, you have to wonder what it's Big Brother would have been capable of ...

Oh, it would have been a monster, no doubt.

That Protocyon and equid foal really faced the bad end of the bargain.

I did occasionally hear about alleged "giant jaguar fossils" from the Pleistocene ofΒ South America, never did learn about how true those claims were though. From what I gather two specimens of this subspecies had been examined for body mass. The first specimen was estimated to have weightedΒ 46 kg, the second 129 kg.

Apparently 280kg was the weight of the largest-weighted specimen, which is in the range of modern Siberians and Bengals.

Apparently someone did some isometric scaling of a longbone based on a skeletal.
