| | Lioncrusher's Domain - Machairodontinae (Sabre-Toothed Cats) |
 | | Unlike modern cats, the sabre-toothed cats likely used their incisors to pull the flesh from the bones to feed themselves. |
 | | The tribe Metailurini existed during the late Miocene to early Pleistocene, and the majority of species existed in Eurasia. |
 | | Most of the species in this tribe are known only from fragments; no complete fossils or skulls have been found for many of these cats, and so the taxa of these animals is highly debatable. |
