The biggest saber-toothed cats are Amphimachairodus kabir and Smilodon populator, with the males possibly reaching 350–490 kg (770–1,080 lb) and 220–450 kg (490–990 lb) respectively. [42] [184] [185] Another contender for the largest felid of all time is Machairodus.

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.
Although carnivory increased the further south Arctotherium lived, carbon isotopes suggest that A. tarijense's prey weight limit peaked at 300 kg, leaving the (subadult and younger) mega-mammals, such as the gomphotheres, giant ground sloths, and toxodontids, to Smilodon populator and giant jaguars.
