† Smilodon fatalis: Over 2.000 individuals represented by more than 130.000 specimens. Smilodon is among the most well-known mammals from Rancho La Brea and the second most common carnivore found in the pits, only behind the dire wolf. Unlike the American lion, which is a true cat, Smilodon was a member of the Machairodontinae.

A fossil preparator handles fossils found in Petrified Forest National Park at the museum's demonstration lab. Visitors are not allowed to take fossils from the park.
The small reptile would have likely roamed the land of what is today southern Brazil, when the world was much hotter. The fossil has been identified as a new silesaurid, an extinct group of reptiles.
Machairodontinae is an extinct subfamily of carnivoran mammals of the family Felidae (true cats). They were found in every continent except for Australia and Antarctica. The earliest species is known from the Middle Miocene, while the latest species Smilodon populator survived up to the Early Holocene (8,200~9,100 years ago).
