The pleistoscene "lion' from North America was even bigger than a modern lion, turns out that it may have been a giant jaguar!

What no pictures. I swear I saw one on the ranch last week. Ofcourse I was drunk at the time.

How much fallout d'you think there'll be when people infer the 'American lion' was a latin american immigrant?

Well technically the Jaguar migrated from North America into Central and South America.

But it went extinct in North America because it was always in the shop.
