7 Giant Animals That Are EXTINCT (Part 3)

5. American Lion – The Largest Cat Ever

The American Lion was larger than modern lions, tigers, and even ligers.

• Lived across North America
• One of the top predators of the Ice Age
• Hunted massive prey like bison and horses

When humans arrived and many large prey animals disappeared, American lions lost their food sources. This led to their extinction around 10,000 years ago.
