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 .
The same paper also described additional fossils of N. thinobates compared to the holotype of N. catacopsis, and concluded that N. catacopsis was best considered a nomen vanum and the material assigned to it should be considered N. thinobates. [9] "Pseudaelurus" pedionomus was reassigned to Nimravides in 1990 by Beaumont. [10]
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 ...
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]

However, the precise functional advantage of the saber-tooth's bite, particularly in relation to prey size, is a mystery. A new point-to-point bite model is introduced in the article by Andersson et al., showing that for saber-tooth cats, the depth of the killing bite decreases dramatically with increasing prey size.
