message: Just to compare, their principal measurment, length I guess or height if you prefer, what was it? long were it's fangs aproximately?
Well, from my sources I say that Thylacosmilus was 1.3 m long and had a skull 0.22 m long. I don't know about its' fangs.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.225.84.73 (talk) 15:24, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Thylacosmilus virtually never cohabited with Toxodon, then the picture it is not representative of any ecosystem.
:What indicates it is Toxodon specifically? There are dozens of other toxodont species known. FunkMonk (talk) 14:20, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Who cares about the Toxodon? That picture looks more like a Thylacoleo, with shopped in teeth and 'jaw', than anything else. 220.233.34.248 (talk) 22:32, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Anatomically, I don't see a great problem with the image mentioned above... what resemblance have it to Thylacoleo? But I'm actually intrigued for the toxodontids of the image... they are not the same of the series "Prehistoric Park"?  We can use here, even if are in a modified image?--Rextron (talk) 08:14, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: If it's the exact same image, then we have a problem... FunkMonk (talk) 08:32, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that the toxodontids were taken fom some shots of the program... and the glyptodontid appears be this figure:  Also, the image is a earlier version of this  that replaces the animals in the background. I guess that only the Thylacosmilus itself is usable?--Rextron (talk) 08:44, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Hahah, wow, but is there any chance that he could have made those images for the programmes? FunkMonk (talk) 10:11, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

text: The toxodontids, you mean? Roman Uchytel is not cited in the crew of Prehistoric Park, at least accoding to IMDB:  --Rextron (talk) 00:57, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

text: Are you talking about the head? First, we cannot use any random image off the web, only free ones. Second, can you demonstrate with sources that any of the issues you mention are inaccurate? What is inaccurate about the rhinarium, and how would you in any way falsify some soft tissue feature from animals only known from bones and with no close relatives?

thread_title:  Picture 

message: Only one recent study is cited as evidence for the new view on the species' extinction; is one study alone really enough to overturn the previous view? Can we really assume that there are no sufficient gaps in the fossil record to account for divergent dates between last known appearance and first known arrival of competing species?

thread_title:  Extinction 

message: How is it possible that an animal with possibly the tallest chin ever and the highlight of its features manages to have no remark upon it? Is everyone just embarrassed to mention that it has a large chin? Why is there a chin? Why are we talking about how it has a possible horn on its upper lip without remarking that it has a ginormous cushion for its saber fangs? What possible reason did this ancient creature have to evolve a chin between its teeth? Wacape (talk) 22:46, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is by no means complete yet, but that feature is already mentioned: "They were protected by the large symphyseal flange". These are not "a chin". FunkMonk (talk) 14:57, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
