Nimravidae is an extinct family of carnivorans, sometimes known as false saber-toothed cats, whose fossils are found in North America and Eurasia. Not considered to belong to the true cats (family Felidae ), the nimravids are generally considered closely related and classified as a distinct family in the suborder Feliformia .
Nimravus is an extinct genus of "false" saber-toothed cat that lived in North America, Asia and Europe during the late Eocene and Oligocene epochs 35.3—26.3 mya, [1] existing for approximately . Not closely related to true saber-toothed cats, they evolved a similar form through parallel evolution. Fossils have been uncovered in the western U ...
Dinictis is a genus of the Nimravidae, an extinct family of feliform mammalian carnivores, also known as "false saber-toothed cats". Assigned to the subfamily Nimravinae , Dinictis was endemic to North America from the Late Eocene to Early Miocene epochs (37.2—20.4 million years ago), existing for about 16.8 million years .
Scientists have discovered a pristine fossil of a mummified saber-toothed kitten that had been frozen in the Russian tundra for about 37,000 years. ... A Smilodon Cat from prehistoric times is on ...
Life reconstruction of E. adelos. Most Eusmilus species had a long body and were about as tall as a leopard, though the species E. adelos was similar in size to a small lion, and thus was the largest of the holplophonine nimravids, reaching the weight of nearly 111 kg [2] Eusmilus had developed long saber teeth and looked like a saber-toothed cat, but was actually a so-called 'false saber ...
The Nimravinae are a subfamily of the Nimravidae, an extinct family of feliform mammalian carnivores sometimes known as false saber-toothed cats. They were endemic to North America , Europe , and Asia from the Middle Eocene through the Late Miocene epochs ( Bartonian through Tortonian stages, 40.4—7.2 mya ), spanning about 33.2 million years ...
Machairodus (from Greek: μαχαίρα machaíra, 'knife' and Greek: ὀδούς odoús 'tooth') [2] is a genus of large machairodont or ''saber-toothed cat'' that lived in Africa, Eurasia and North America during the Late Miocene, from 12.5 million to 5.5 million years ago. It is the animal from which the subfamily Machairodontinae gets its name.
Paramachaerodus is an extinct genus of saber-tooth cat of the subfamily Machairodontinae, which was endemic to Eurasia during the Middle and Late Miocene from 15 to 9 Ma. [3] A 2022 phylogenetic analysis suggested that the genus may be polyphyletic. [4] Paramacherodus is one of the earliest known true saber-toothed cats.
