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 .
Nimravidae cladogram. The Nimravinae are a subfamily of the Nimravidae, an extinct family of feliform mammalian carnivores sometimes known as false saber-toothed cats.They were endemic to North America, Europe, and Asia from the Middle Eocene through the Late Miocene epochs (Bartonian through Tortonian stages, 40.4—7.2 mya), spanning about 1]
Dinailurictis was one of the larger nimravids of its time, measuring at 1 meter in height at the shoulder and being intermediate between a lion and leopard in mass. Having had a sleek body like caracal, with its back being elongated and having feet more resembling basal Feliformia members like civets, with partially retractable claws.
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]
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 ...
Quercylurus was named by Ginsburg (1979), and initially assigned to Felidae by Carroll in 1988. [4] It would be placed as a member of Nimravidae, within the subfamily Nimravinae.
Eofelis is an extinct genus of small nimravid (false saber-toothed cats). They were catlike creatures that evolved in parallel with true cats but are not a part of the true cat lineage and have left no living descendants.
Hoplophoneus (Greek: "murder" (phonos), "weapon" (hoplo) [1]) is an extinct genus of the family Nimravidae, endemic to North America during the Late Eocene to Early Oligocene epochs (35–29 mya), existing for approximately 2]
