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.
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 Middle Miocene to early Holocene, from 10.3 mya—8,200 years ago.
They are estimated to have gone extinct at the end Pleistocene period about 12,000 years ago, with fossils found all over Eurasia, Africa and the Americas. PHOTO: A Smilodon Cat from prehistoric ...
A 35,000-year-old saber-toothed cub was in a nearly perfect preserved condition in Russia's northeastern Sakha Republic in 2020. A new journal Scientific Reports study, which was published on ...
The Machairodontinae contain many of the extinct predators commonly known as "saber-toothed cats", including those with greatly elongated upper maxillary canines, such as the famed genus Smilodon and Megantereon, though the degree of elongation was variable, and in some machairodontines like Dinofelis the length of the upper canines was much ...
Thylacosmilus is an extinct genus of saber-toothed metatherian mammals that inhabited South America from the Late Miocene to Pliocene epochs.Though Thylacosmilus looks similar to the "saber-toothed cats", it was not a felid, like the well-known North American Smilodon, but a sparassodont, a group closely related to marsupials, and only superficially resembled other saber-toothed mammals due to ...
