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
Smilodon fatalis, Arctotherium bonariense, Canis nehringi, maned wolves, and humans would have also joined this predator guild at various stages of the Lujanian. [ 19 ] [ 44 ] [ 47 ] However, a fragmented Arctotherium c.f. tarijense tooth from Baño Nuevo-1 cave in southern Chile preserves cavities, which could be interpreted as a consequence ...
Though P. onca mesembrina is one of four known carnivores in the cave, its fossils are more common and better preserved, whereas species like Smilodon populator are represented by a handful of fossils. [23] [1] Modern jaguars and cougars are able to drag their kills long distances, which P. onca mesembrina was likely capable of as well.
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).
