Synopsis

American Lion: The True Story of Panthera Leo Atrox, North America's Largest Prehistoric Predator and Its Mysterious Extinction

It ruled an entire continent for thousands of years. It was larger than any lion alive today, faster than most predators of its era, and feared by everything that shared the ancient North American landscape with it. And then, without a single witness, without a clear explanation, and without a trace that science has fully decoded, it vanished. Panthera leo atrox, the American lion, is one of the greatest mysteries the prehistoric world ever left behind. This book goes looking for answers.

This prehistoric predator book takes readers deep into the fossil record, the Ice Age ecosystem, and the fierce scientific debate surrounding the rise and mysterious extinction of North America's most dominant large cat. From the frozen plains of the Pleistocene to the latest paleontological discoveries, this is the most complete and compelling account of the American lion ever written.

If you are a reader of natural history, prehistoric animals, Ice Age wildlife, or ancient extinction events, this book belongs in your collection.

The king of prehistoric North America has a story. It is finally time to hear it.

Get your copy today and step back into a world where the American lion ruled everything it walked through.
