Plusieurs espèces de félins, maintenant disparues, ont proliféré en Amérique du Nord durant la dernière ère glaciaire. On distingue parmi ceux-ci le chat des cavernes (Homotherium serum), le tigre à dents de sabre (Smilodon fatalis) et le lion d'Amérique (Panthera leo atrox). Grâce à leur vitesse, leur agilité, leurs mâchoires puissantes et leurs dents aiguisées comme des rasoirs, ces félins pouvaient s'attaquer à des animaux beaucoup plus gros qu'eux, tels que des bisons, des chevaux et de jeunes mammouths. 2, record 2, French, - f%C3%A9lin%20%C3%A0%20dents%20de%20sabre

[...] en México al parecer frecuentaba zonas límite entre el matorral, pastizal y los bosques tropicales o de coníferas en búsqueda de sus grandes presas como bisontes, camellos, caballos e incluso perezosos gigantes y mamuts con los que luchaba usando toda su fuerza y peso para derribarlos o en lo posible inmovilizarlos y sólo después de eso, usaba sus colmillos de 17 cm de largo para con una mordida en la garganta del animal, cortar algunas arterias importantes y ocasionar su muerte prácticamente al instante. El dientes de sable se vio "sobrecalificado" cuando hace 10 000 años los animales grandes se extinguieron, el bisonte se trasladó principalmente a las praderas [y] el gran gato no pudo adaptarse a comer sólo animales pequeños [...] 1, record 2, Spanish, - felino%20dientes%20de%20sable
