Its discoverers say the fanged feline was so big, in fact, it probably hunted rhinoceros. Science Alert reported on the discovery, which comes at the tail end of a years-long research effort. John Orcutt, an assistant professor of biology at Gonzaga University, originally initiated the project. He began the effort after coming across a large upper arm bone specimen from an unidentified cat as a graduate student. ....
Machairodus lahayishupup could easily have taken on prey weighing several tons. To identify the new saber-toothed cat species, Orcutt, who is now an assistant professor of biology at Gonzaga University, and Calede painstakingly investigated the forearm bones of lions, jaguars, tigers, and other modern big cats to determine whether their elbow shapes could reliably differentiate one species from the next. “We found we could quantify the differences on a fairly fine scale,” Calede says in a press release. “This told us we could use the elbow shape to tell apart species of modern big cats.” Then they turned to the fossil record, examining the same morphological markers on the museum specimens. ....
