A new point-to-point bite model is introduced in the article by Andersson et al., showing that for saber-tooth cats, the depth of the killing bite decreases dramatically with increasing prey size. [10] The extended gape of saber-toothed cats results in a considerable increase in bite depth when biting into prey with a radius of less than 10 cm.
Megantereon is an extinct genus of prehistoric machairodontine saber-toothed cat that lived in Eurasia, Africa and possibly North America from the late Pliocene to the Middle Pleistocene. It is a member of the tribe Smilodontini , and closely related to and possibly the ancestor of the famous American sabertooth Smilodon .
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).
Smilodontini is an extinct tribe within the Machairodontinae or "saber-toothed cat" subfamily of the Felidae. The tribe is also known as the " dirk-toothed cats ". They were endemic to South America , North America , Europe , Asia , and Africa during the Miocene to Pleistocene , from 10.3 mya —11,000 years ago, existing for approximately 10.3 ...

The first recorded Arctotherium specimens in South America occur alongside the earliest known South American records of several other carnivorans: the sabre-toothed cats Smilodon and Homotherium, the puma (Puma concolor), the jaguar (Panthera onca), some large 25–35 kg (55–77 lb) canids, and several smaller (<15 kg (33 lb)) mustelids ...
