The American lion (Panthera atrox (/ ˈ p æ n θ ər ə ˈ æ t r ɒ k s /), with the species name meaning "savage" or "cruel", also called the North American lion) is an extinct pantherine cat native to North America during the Late Pleistocene from around 130,000 to 12,800 years ago.
Some authors considered it a subspecies of Panthera spelaea (Panthera spelaea fossilis) or treat it as a distinct species. [17] [18] Some employ a subgenus of Panthera, "Leo", to contain several lion-like members of Panthera, including P. leo, P. spelaea, P. atrox and P. fossilis. [10]
Panthera atrox: North America, 0.13 to 0.013 MYA, with dubious remains in South America. [63] Commonly known as the American lion, P. atrox is thought to have descended from a basal P. spelaea cave lion population isolated south of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet, and then established a mitochondrial sister clade circa 200,000 BP.

Panthera leo spelaea M. Boule & L. De Villeneuve, 1927 Panthera spelaea , commonly known as the cave lion (or less commonly as the steppe lion ), is an extinct Panthera species that was native to Eurasia and northwest North America during the Pleistocene epoch.
Felis leo was the scientific name used by Carl Linnaeus in 1758, who described the lion in his work Systema Naturae. [3] The genus name Panthera was coined by Lorenz Oken in 1816. [10] Between the mid-18th and mid-20th centuries, 26 lion specimens were described and proposed as subspecies, of which 11 were recognised as valid in 2005. [1]
His death came just a couple of weeks after Leo Lukenas, 35, who was in the bank’s investment banking group in New York City, died of an acute coronary artery thrombus, according to the New York ...
Panthera spelaea lived in Europe after the third Cromerian interglacial stage from about 450,000 to 14,000 years ago. [13] Panthera atrox lived in North America during the Pleistocene and early Holocene about 340,000 to 11,000 years ago. [14] Panthera shawi was a lion-like cat in South Africa that possibly lived in the early Pleistocene. [15]
