Nimravides

Nimravides was a prehistoric saber-toothed cat which lived in North America during the middle and late Miocene.Martin Larry D. 1998. Felidae. In Evolution of Tertiary mammals of North America, volume 1: Terrestrial carnivores, ungulates, ungulatelike mammals. Cambridge University Press. Despite its scientific name Nimravides does not belong to the Nimravidae, but belongs to the family Felidae.

The earlier species of the genus are smaller and more primitive than the later forms. The tiger-sized Nimravides catacopsis resembles the primitive Machairodus aphanistus, a species known from the late Miocene of Eurasia.
