Journey back to Ice Age North America and discover one of the most formidable cats ever to roam the continent.
American Lion Handbook explores the fascinating world of Panthera atrox, the enormous prehistoric predator that once shared the landscape with mammoths, ancient bison, horses, camels, dire wolves, and other remarkable members of the Pleistocene megafauna.
Written for prehistoric-animal enthusiasts, fossil lovers, students, natural-history readers, and anyone fascinated by extinct predators, this accessible guide brings together the most important aspects of the American lion's biology, fossil record, ecology, and place in Ice Age North America.
Inside this handbook, you'll explore:
More than simply an oversized cat, the American lion belonged to a dramatic world of giant herbivores and highly specialized predators. Its fossils provide valuable clues about how large carnivores survived, competed, hunted, and responded to environmental change thousands of years ago.
Clear, informative, and engaging, American Lion Handbook offers a compelling introduction to one of North America's most impressive extinct mammals and the extraordinary prehistoric world it inhabited.
