Guest Smilodon Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) Not sure which is worse, that giant hyena I posted a few days ago or this cat Machairodus which is accurately called a Scimitar cat rather than a Saber cat. Again, Mio/Plio from China. Again, not mine, now, but if I play my cards right........... The Saber cat, Megantereon is the smaller of the two skulls but has the longer saber-like canines.

Phoenixflood Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Now sure which is worse, that giant hyena I posted a few days ago or this cat (Machairodus) which is accurately called a Scimitar cat rather than a Saber cat. Again, Mio/Plio from China. Again, not mine, now, but if I play my cards right........... Sheesh, that is a nice one! Play your cards right then cash in your chips The soul of a Fossil Hunter is one that is seeking, always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erose Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Sufffffferin suckkkkotash, where did they all go....? If you haven't read this book: http://www.amazon.com/Big-Cats-Their-Fossil-Relatives/dp/0231102291 then do. It is one of those great books that is both scientific and yet easy to read by the lay man. I never knew about the different types of cats other than sabertooths until I read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
