  Paleocraft Machairodus giaganteus
Machairodus giganteus, perhaps the largest species known within the genus Machairodus, was a large lion-sized saber-toothed cat with elongated upper canines and cheek teeth efficiently adapted for slicing meat.
Machairodus giganteus is believed to be one of the more evolved members of the group possessing the traits that distinguish the Machairodus genus from other cats.
Machairodus giganteus is associated with faunas typical of an open plain environment and may have had a life-style similar to that of a modern lion.
