	Smilodon - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
		Smilodon es el nombre de un antiguo género de felinos, que vivieron tanto en América del Norte como en la del centro y Sur, entre hace 2,5 millones a 10.000 años antes del presente, y fue parte del grupo llamado felinos dientes de sable.
		Se trata de la especie Smilodon gracilis, bastante más pequeña y ligera que sus descendientes, y que se cree que a su vez provenía del felino dientes de sable Megantereon, difundido por Eurasia y África y que pasó a Norteamérica a través del puente de hielo que comunicaba ocasionalmente Alaska con Siberia.
		Smilodon fatalis y Smilodon populator desaparecieron al final de la última glaciación, hace unos diez mil años, junto con muchos grandes mamíferos.

	Smilodon californicus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Smilodon californicus ("Smilodon of California") is a machairodontin saber-toothed cat.
		It is sometimes considered a separate species of the genus Smilodon but is more likely a subspecies of Smilodon fatalis (as is Smilodon floridanus).
		Smilodon (fatalis) californicus is the California state fossil, most abundantly found in the La Brea Tar Pits where it would have been caught in tar while pursuing prey.

	PREHISTORIC CATS AND PREHISTORIC CAT-LIKE CREATURES
		Smilodon gracilis was the smallest of the Smilodons and the earliest species (about 2.5 million years ago); it was found in the eastern United States and weighed around 80 kilos.
		Smilodon's anatomy shows them to be were specialised hunters of big game; they probably ambushed their prey - their robust build is not designed for chasing it down.
		Smilodon was not built for the chase and this reduction in cover would have made it harder to ambush prey.

	Lioncrusher's Domain - Machairodontinae (Sabre-Toothed Cats)
		Smilodon fatalis ranged throughout North and South America, and their common remains in the La Brea tar pits in California made the animal well-known.
		The specimens found in California are often considered a separate species, Smilodon californicus, and the specimens found in Florida as Smilodon floridanus, although some sources consider them both as synonymous with S.
		Smilodon gracilis ranged in the eastern United States, and is the smallest of the three species.

	Timothy H. Heaton: Crystal Ball Cave
		Smilodon from Crystal Ball Cave based on a single vertebra (W. Miller 1983 personal communication), but this specimen is apparently lost (possibly due to an explosion that affected the collection).
		The specimens were compared with Smilodon and Felis atrox, the only two late Pleistocene cats large enough to be considered, and both compare best with Smilodon (W. Miller 1984 personal communication).
		The only previous citing of Smilodon in Utah is from the Silver Creek fauna of north-central Utah (Miller 1976), but it has been found in Pleistocene assemblages throughout North America.

	Vertebrate paleontology of the Balcones Fault trend
		One is made up of extinct species such as Mammuthus jeffersonii (Jeffersonian mammoth), Mammut americanum (American mastodon), Smilodon floridanus (sabertoothed cat), Canis dirus (dire wolf), Glossotherium harlani (Harlan's ground sloth) and other species, mostly of large size, that are usually considered to be characteristic of the Pleistocene.
		Extinct species that are either absent or rare west of the Balcones fault zone in addition to the long-nosed peccary, Mylohyus nasutus, are the ovibovine, Symbos cavifrons, which is common in the northeast and midwest and whose remains are frequently associated with woodland pollen (Semken et al.
		All of these animals are associated to a considerable extent with forest or woodland conditions and some, such as the glyptodont and capybara, with permanent bodies of water (Gillette and Ray, 1981).
