English: (Smilodon fatalis) skull at the Gustavo Orcés Natural History Museum, Quito Inside the Gustavo Orcés Natural History Museum is on the campus of The National Polytechnic School (Spanish: Escuela Politécnica Nacional), also known as EPN, is a public university located in Quito, Ecuador.
Machairodontinae is an extinct subfamily of carnivoran mammals of the family Felidae (true cats). They were found in Asia, Africa, North America, South America, and Europe, with the earliest species known from the Middle Miocene, with the last surviving species (belonging to the genera Smilodon and Homotherium) becoming extinct around Late Pleistocene-Holocene transition (~13-10,000 years ago).
Physically, the cat reached around 1 m (3.3 ft) tall at the shoulder, [7] and is estimated about the same size or larger than Smilodon fatalis, though the body mass estimates of the holotype is around 118 kilograms (260 lb). [8] [9] A 2019 book suggested a body mass range of 300–350 kilograms (660–770 lb). [10]
† Smilodon fatalis: Over 2.000 individuals represented by more than 130.000 specimens. Smilodon is among the most well-known mammals from Rancho La Brea and the second most common carnivore found in the pits, only behind the dire wolf. Unlike the American lion, which is a true cat, Smilodon was a member of the Machairodontinae.
From top and from left to right, Inostrancevia, Hoplophoneus, Barbourofelis, Smilodon, Machaeroides and Thylacosmilus A saber-tooth (alternatively spelled sabre-tooth) is any member of various extinct groups of predatory therapsids, predominantly carnivoran mammals, that are characterized by long, curved saber-shaped canine teeth which protruded from the mouth when closed.

A study on the bone thickness of dentary bones of the specimens of Smilodon fatalis recovered from the La Brea Tar Pits and its implications for the changes in the diet of the saber-toothed cats through the time-periods that are captured at this site, is published by Binder, Cervantes & Meachen (2016).
