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 .
Dinofelis is an extinct genus of machairodontine (sabre-toothed cat), usually classified in the tribe Metailurini.It was widespread in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America from 5 million to about 1.2 million years ago (early Pliocene to early Pleistocene).
Nimravidae cladogram. 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 1]
Lokotunjailurus is an extinct genus of saber-toothed cats (Machairodontinae) which existed during the late Miocene and earliest Pliocene epoch and is known from localities in northern, central, eastern and southern Africa. [1] [2] [3] A big cat, it was more slender than comparable recent species and its build suggests cursoriality.
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 .
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 ...
Paleontologists excavating in Russia’s Yakutia region uncovered the first known mummy of a saber-toothed cat. The cub was only about 3 weeks old when it died around 35,000 years ago.
Homotherini (Machairodontini) is a tribe (or subtribe) [1] of saber-toothed cats of the family Felidae (true cats). The tribe is commonly known as scimitar-toothed cats.These saber-toothed cats were endemic to North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America [2] from the Miocene to Pleistocene living from c. 23 Ma until c. 12,000 years ago.
