The development of the saber-toothed condition appears to represent a shift in function and killing behavior, rather than one in predator-prey relations. Many hypotheses exist concerning saber-tooth killing methods, some of which include attacking soft tissue such as the belly and throat, where biting deep was essential to generate killing blows.
Megantereon is an extinct genus of prehistoric machairodontine saber-toothed cat that lived in Eurasia, Africa and possibly North America from the late Pliocene to the Middle Pleistocene. It is a member of the tribe Smilodontini, and closely related to and possibly the ancestor of the famous American sabertooth Smilodon.
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.
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).

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 ...
