Nimravides is a genus of extinct saber-toothed cats that lived in North America during the Late Miocene, between 10.3 and 5.332 Ma. [1] Despite its scientific name, Nimravides does not belong to the Nimravidae , but is a true cat belonging to the family Felidae .
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.

Machairodus (from Greek: μαχαίρα machaíra, 'knife' and Greek: ὀδούς odoús 'tooth') [2] is a genus of large machairodont or ''saber-toothed cat'' that lived in Africa, Eurasia and North America during the Late Miocene, from 12.5 million to 5.5 million years ago.
Homotherini (Machairodontini) is a tribe (or subtribe) [1] of saber-toothed cats of the family Felidae (true cats). The tribe is commonly known as scimitar-toothed cats.These saber-toothed cats were endemic to North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America [2] from the Miocene to Pleistocene living from c. 10 Ma until c. 12,000 years ago.

Front limb. There was marked sexual dimorphism in A. giganteus, with males being much larger than females. [16]The species Amphimachairodus coloradensis, from the United States was a significantly large animal, about 1.2 m (3.9 ft) at the shoulder, according to skeletal and life reconstructions, potentially making it one of the largest known felids.

Miomachairodus is an extinct genus of large machairodontine (saber-toothed cat) containing only a single species, Miomachairodus pseudailuroides.It is mainly known from Middle Miocene-age fossils in Turkey and persisted until the early Late Miocene (). [1]
