David Polly, a paleontologist at Indiana University Bloomington, agreed. [97], The latest Smilodon fatalis specimen recovered from the Rancho La Brea tar pits has been dated to 13,025 years ago. Its bones have been discovered from West Virginia to Arizona and even Wyoming.

Leonard, J. But, according to Carlo Meloro, a vertebrate palaeontologist at the Liverpool John Moores University in the U.K., only so much can be concluded based on current knowledge and evidence. Isotopes preserved in the bones of S.fatalis in the La Brea Tar Pits reveal that ruminants like bison (Bison antiquus, which was much larger than the modern American bison) and camels (Camelops) were most commonly taken by the cats there. [29][4] S. fatalis was intermediate in size between S. gracilis and S. [57] The mandibular flanges may have helped resist bending forces when the mandible was pulled against the hide of a prey animal. The oldest evidence of the American lion dates to about 340,000 years ago, and later disappeared from the fossil record approximately 11,000 years ago. It lived during the Pleistocene epoch (1.8 mya 10,000 years ago) throughout all of America, for about a good 10.2 million years. These three taxonomic groups, though similar in appearance and genetic makeup, did not all live in the same regions at the same time. 7 Extinct Big Cats - AZ Animals Many of the carnivores at Talara were juveniles, possibly indicating that inexperienced and less fit animals had a greater chance of being trapped. Scientists debate whether Smilodon had a social or a solitary lifestyle; analysis of modern predator behavior as well as of Smilodon's fossil remains could be construed to lend support to either view. It was extremely large, about 25% larger than modern lions, and likely preyed on deer, horses, camels, tapirs, bison, mammoths, and other large mammals, many of which have gone extinct as well. However, evidence from comparisons with Homotherium suggest that Smilodon was fully capable of and utilized the canine shear-bite as its primary means of killing prey, based on the fact that it had a thick skull and relatively little trabecular bone, while Homotherium had both more trabecular bone and a more lion-like clamping bite as its primary means of attacking prey. (1989). In comparison to Smilodon, the canines of Homotherium were shorter, and it was probably adapted to running down rather than ambushing prey. S. populator probably competed with the canid Protocyon there, but not with the jaguar, which fed primarily on smaller prey. Domning, D. P., Thomason, J., & Corbett, D. G. (2007).

Miracinonyx (colloquially known as the "American cheetah") is an extinct genus of felids belonging to the subfamily Felinae that was endemic to North America from the Pliocene to Pleistocene epochs (2.6 million to 19,000 years ago, possibly up to 17,000 years ago) and morphologically similar to the modern cheetah ( Acinonyx jubatus ).
