Researchers have found evidence of a giant saber-toothed cat in the US that would hunt rhinos.
Big cats are majestic beasts but there used to be even bigger variations of the animals. Researchers found that a saber-toothed cat weighing up to 900 pounds, between 5–9 million years ago, roamed the United States.

The research published in the
Journal of Mammalian Evolution suggests that the saber-toothed cat would have hunted other large animals that weighed 1,000–2,000lbs. It is believed the cat was one of the largest in the world’s history and has also led to further questions about the spread of the species across the world. ....

A few million years ago, this giant saber-toothed cat hunted rhinos in North America
Not your average cat.

Some 5-9 million years ago, a bad boy called
Machairodus lahayishupup roamed the open spaces in North America (pronounced Mah-CHI-rho-duss Lah-HIGH-ees-hoop-oop). It was the largest cat of its time (that we know of, at least), weighing up to 900 pounds (410 kg) and hunting pretty much everything that moved, including prey ten times larger than itself.

Animals in the
Machairodus genus are thought to be largely similar to today’s lions or tigers, with a couple of major distinctions; one, when it comes to their teeth. The saber-toothed cats, as their name implies, had long canines protruding from the mouth. The canines are thin and flattened, like the blade of a knife or (you’ve guessed it) a saber. ....

Newly Identified Species of Saber-Toothed Cat Was So Big It Hunted Rhinos in America


Using detailed fossil comparison techniques, scientists have been able to identify a giant new saber-toothed cat species,
Machairodus lahayishupup, which would have prowled around the open spaces of North America between 5 and 9 million years ago.
 
One of the biggest cats ever discovered,
M. lahayishupup is estimated in this new study to have a body mass of some 274 kilograms (604 pounds) or so, and possibly even bigger. It s an ancient relative of the well-known
Smilodon, the so-called saber-toothed tiger.
A total of seven 
M. lahayishupup fossil specimens, including upper arms and teeth, were analyzed and compared with other species to identify the new felid, with the fossils collected from museum collections in Oregon, Idaho, Texas, and California. ....

Massive Saber-Toothed Cats Terrorized North America Millions of Years Ago


A newly identified saber-toothed cat terrorized parts of North America between 5 and 9 million years ago. In addition to being a new species, it is also one of the largest cats ever discovered.
Based on the analysis of several bones, researchers were able to determine that this new species – which has been named
Machairodus lahayishupup – would have weighed an average of 600 pounds (272 kilograms) and would have been able to kill prey weighing as much as 6,000 pounds. They were believed to have feasted on giant camels, giant ground sloths, and rhinoceroses, just to name a few. It certainly would have been a force to be reckoned with, especially with its large forearms that allowed it to subdue its prey. ....
