		Homotherium is a machairodontine saber-toothed cat genus that lived approximately 3 million to 10,000 years ago in North America, Eurasia and Africa.
		Homotherium reached 1,1 m at the shoulder and was therefore about the size of a lion.
		The molars of Homotherium were rather weak and not adapted for bone crushing.

	Homotherium
		Homotherium is characterized by some interesting and unique physical characteristics for a large felid.
		The limb proportions of Homotherium gave a Hyena-like appearance, with the front legs being slightly longer than the rear legs, causing the back to slope towards the short tail.
		The enlarged canine teeth of Homotherium, while not as large as the saber tooth tiger Smilodon, were crenulated and designed for slashing rather than pure stabbing.

	The Dino Pit Fossils: Homotherium serum
		Homotherium was a member of the felid lineage, which includes all extant and extinct cats (everything from lions to housecats) as well as the extinct saber-toothed cats.
		Homotherium was about the size of a modern lion, but it had a lighter build with long forelimbs and relatively shorter hindlimbs.
		The canines of Homotherium are not as elongate as those of the saber-toothed cat Smilodon, but were nevertheless effective weapons for killing prey.

	Paleocraft Homotherium latidens
		Homotherium latidens, perhaps one of the most well known of the saber-toothed cats, belonged to a group of lion-sized saber-toothed cats that lived around 3 million years ago and are believed to have gone extinct about 500,000 years ago.
		In comparison to its ancestor, the Machairodus, Homotherium possessed a shortened lumbar region and elongated radius.The forelimbs were much longer in proportion to their hind limbs.
		Homotherium may have evolved and adapted to specific prey animals, as suggested by their distinct morphology.

		In the southern parts of its range the American Homotherium co-existed with Smilodon, in the northern parts it was the only species of saber toothed cat.
		One of the most famous sites of Homotherium remains is the Friesenhahn cave in Texas, where 30 Homotherium were found, along with hundreds of juvenile mammoths and several dire wolves.
		The decline of Homotherium could be due to the disappearance of large herbivorous mammals like mammoths in America at the end of the Pleistocene.

	Homotherium - Definition, explanation
		Homotherium is a prehistoric cat genus that lived approximately 3 million to 10,000 years ago in North America, Eurasia and Africa.
		The best known species of Homotherium is Homotherium serum, commonly known as the scimitar cat.
		It had saberteeth shorter than those of the sabertooth cat, but unlike the sabertooth cat's teeth, the scimitar cat's were serrated on both sides.

		The canine teeth of Homotherium were flattened from side to side with serrated edges, and a deepened chin meant that its upper canines did not protrude beyond the lower margin of the lower jaw.
		Homotherium must therefore have been cold-tolerant because most of northern Europe was covered by an ice sheet at that time.
		The idea that Homotherium possessed sprinting abilities is also supported by its huge nasal opening, which suggests that it could breathe in extra oxygen compared to other cats, a feature beneficial to a fast runner.

		Homotherium’s slender upper canines were shorter than those of the sabertooth Megantereon and more curved.
		The tearing and cutting involved in feeding was done, in both species, by very robust incisors, situated much further forward than those of pantherine cats like lions and tigers, along with the forward-shifted lower canines, and well-developed meat-cutting or carnassial teeth in the back of the jaw.
		The majority of the individuals represented by these remains were around two years old – an age at which modern elephants begin to assert a degree of independence from their mothers.

		Cervical anatomy of Homotherium was compared to that of modern pantherine cats, Smilodon, and other sabertoothed carnivores, and the relationship between neck function and killing behavior was investigated.
		Homotherium latidens possesses the structures associated with the canine shear-bite, as described in Smilodon.
		These features, and the greater relative length of the neck in Homotherium and other machairodonts, are interpreted as adaptations for delivering a canine shear-bite in precise areas of the body of relatively large prey.

	The "Homotherium" from Langebaanweg, South Africa and the origin of Homotherium
		Craniodental and postcranial material from Langebaanweg, Cape Province, South Africa identified as or associated with Homotherium is described.
		Parts of this material have been described as the earliest Homotherium, but it is here concluded that the material shares no apomorphic traits with Homotherium and is better referred to Amphimachairodus sp.
		The earliest Homotherium known to date comes from the Odessa Catacombs, Ukraine or the Lonyumun Member, Koobi Fora Formation, Kenya, both dated slightly older than 4 Ma.

		I was wondering, Is Homotherium serum still regarded as a distinct species from H.latidens?Morphologically, the two species have less distinctness compared to Smilodon fatalis and S.populator,AFAIK.
		Homotherium was a long-lived genus and when you add time to the mix our nice, neat species concepts sometimes get pounded into mush.
		Homotherium was a much more agile and powerful animal (bodily - not in jaw power) than the living Hyaena.

		Homotherium (therium = "beast") is a group of unique hyena-like sabre-toothed cats that also ranged widely (Africa, Asia, Europe, North America) from 3 million - 0.5 million years ago.
		Homotherium's incisors were very large and robust and they had serrated medium-length canine teeth.
		Homotherium would have had the sloping look of a hyena with slender legs and relatively long neck.

		And, in one story, its aggressive nature in that it charged, head-long, into a truck was strangely out of character for a puma (there was nothing mentioned about it resembling a wild hog, so it couldn't be a hog).
		If these stories turn out to be true, then it's my belief that Homotherium out competed Smilodon, in that it's teeth aren't true sabers, but actual teeth and therefore wouldn't break against bone, allowing it to prey on other animals beside thick skinned ones.
		Also, Homotherium's scimitar teeth were probably not much stronger than Smilodon's and would have likely been used in a similar way.

		Evolveing from Machairodus, Homotherium was rare but had an extended range across North America during the early Pliocene and extending into the Pleistocene from as far south as Mexico to as far north as Alaska.
		The species of Homotherium is undetermined (so far) and the evidance is only a tooth and the lower end of an upper arm bone from the San Pedro Valley deposits near Benson Arizona.
		The age of these rare fossils is divided between two points in time with the fossil of the upper arm bone being the oldest at around 3.5 to 2.5 million years, and the tooth at 1.9 million years at the Pliocene/Pleistocene time border.

		We investigate the ecology of Homotherium latidens using an exceptional sample of postcrania from the Spanish Early Pleistocene site of Incarcal, making comparisons with modern cats and with other machairodont species.
		Evidence of cursorial adaptations in Homotherium suggests a hunting technique different from modern cats or smilodontine sabre-tooths.
		Homotherium would also have been disadvantaged in direct confrontation with Pleistocene lions by smaller body mass, reduced forepaw muscle strength, smaller claws and more fragile dentition.

		North American saber-tooth cats (Homotherium serum) killing a young mammoth calf, between two to four years of age, when it strayed away from the herd.
		The majority were 2-year olds (a time when modern elephant calves begin to play and separate from the maternal herd): probably such calves became easy prey for scimitar cats.
		Indeed, the worldwide association of various species of Homotherium with proboscidians (elephants and mastodons) and rhino remains, mainly those of juveniles, reinforces the idea that Homotherium preyed selectively on these tough-skinned animals.

		Homotherium ranged far to the north and was adapted to the cold conditions of the mammoth steppe environment.
		Homotherium has a very hyeana-like appearance, because of the exceptionally long front limbs that cause the back to slope towards the rump.
		Finds at Friesenhahn cave in Texas of many remains of Homotherium individuals of all ages associated with the milk teeth of more than seventy baby mammoths hint at a specialized hunting strategy.

		"And like Homotherium, it had broad, knifelike teeth that are very coarsely crenulated, and then a projecting set of long, curved incisors that are serrated like a steak knife," says Martin, who studied the new cat along with fossil collector John Babiarz and paleontologist Virginia Naples of Northern Illinois University.
		"Homotherium may have killed in the same way," says Martin.
		With those short legs, the cat wouldn't have been able to run down its prey, as the speedier Homotherium most likely did.
