Nimravidae is an extinct family of carnivorans, sometimes known as false saber-toothed cats, whose fossils are found in North America and Eurasia. Not considered to belong to the true cats (family Felidae ), the nimravids are generally considered closely related and classified as a distinct family in the suborder Feliformia .
Dinictis is a genus of the Nimravidae, an extinct family of feliform mammalian carnivores, also known as "false saber-toothed cats". Assigned to the subfamily Nimravinae, Dinictis was endemic to North America from the Late Eocene to Early Miocene epochs (37.2—20.4 million years ago), existing for about 1]
Barbourofelidae is an extinct family of carnivorans of the suborder Feliformia, sometimes known as false saber-toothed cats, [2] that lived in North America, Eurasia and Africa during the Miocene epoch (16.9—9.0 million years ago) and existed for about 3]
Barbourofelis is an extinct genus of large, predatory, feliform carnivoran mammals of the family Barbourofelidae (false saber-tooth cats). The genus was endemic to North America and Eurasia during the Miocene until its extinction during the Tortonian, living from 13.6 to 4.9 Ma. [1] [2]

Life reconstruction of E. adelos. Most Eusmilus species had a long body and were about as tall as a leopard, though the species E. adelos was similar in size to a small lion, and thus was the largest of the holplophonine nimravids, reaching the weight of nearly 111 kg [2] Eusmilus had developed long saber teeth and looked like a saber-toothed cat, but was actually a so-called 'false saber ...
Nimravus is an extinct genus of "false" saber-toothed cat in the family Nimravidae known from North America, Asia and Europe during the late Eocene and Oligocene epochs 35.3—26.3 mya, [1] existing for approximately . Not closely related to true saber-toothed cats, they evolved a similar form through parallel evolution. Fossils have been ...
