Newly Discovered Species of Saber-Toothed Cat Was So Big It Hunted Rhinos in America Artist’s impression of the new saber-toothed cat/Roger Witter The last 10 or 15 million years have given us some truly mega mammals, like mammoths, bears, cats, rhinos, and deer that were all much larger than their modern relatives. Now a new species of saber-toothed cat has been described by paleontologists who found the ancient cat’s humerus bone among North American museum collections. It turns out there is not one, but perhaps several other saber-toothed feline genetic branches, and Machairodus lahayishupup would have been one of the largest felines to ever prowl the Earth. ....

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. ....
