Saber-toothed predator. From top and from left to right, Inostrancevia, Hoplophoneus, Barbourofelis, Smilodon, Machaeroides and Thylacosmilus. A saber-tooth (alternatively spelled sabre-tooth) is any member of various extinct groups of predatory therapsids, predominantly carnivoran mammals, that are characterized by long, curved saber -shaped ...
Smilodon is an extinct genus of felids. It is one of the best known saber-toothed predators and prehistoric mammals. Although commonly known as the saber-toothed tiger, it was not closely related to the tiger or other modern cats, belonging to the extinct subfamily Machairodontinae, with an estimated date of divergence from the ancestor of ...
Oncorhynchus rastrosus. Oncorhynchus rastrosus (originally described as Smilodonichthys rastrosus[2]) also known as the saber-toothed salmon (now known to be a misnomer), [3] or spike-toothed salmon[1] is an extinct species of salmon that lived along the Pacific coast of North America and Japan. [4] They first appeared in the late Miocene in ...
Machairodontinae is an extinct subfamily of carnivoran mammals of the family Felidae (true cats). They were found in Asia, Africa, North America, South America, and Europe, with the earliest species known from the Middle Miocene, with the last surviving species (belonging to the genera Smilodon and Homotherium) becoming extinct around Late Pleistocene-Holocene transition (~13-10,000 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 ...
The bite force of saber-toothed predators (like Inostrancevia), using three-dimensional analysis, was determined by Stephan Lautenschlager and colleagues in 2020: [50] their findings detailed that, despite morphological convergence among saber-toothed predators, there is a range of methods of
Almost nothing is known of the biology and ecology of evermannellids. They are active, visual predators and confine themselves to the mesopelagic zone, about 400m - 1000m for adults. [1] [4] However, larvae and small juvenile sabertooth fishes tend to be found at depth ranges between 50m - 100m, descending to deeper water with age. [1]
Instead, Ice Age hunters may have used a sophisticated hunting tool to kill prey like mammoths — or predators like saber-toothed cats — using the animals’ own power and weight, according to ...
