The largest known metatherian carnivore, Proborhyaena gigantea, apparently reached 600 kilograms (1,300 lb), also close to this limit. [10] A similar theoretical maximum size for mammalian carnivores has been predicted based on the metabolic rate of mammals, the energetic cost of obtaining prey, and the maximum estimated rate coefficient of ...
