Smilodon gracilis - epaiva - 10-22-2017

S. gracilis was the smallest species at 55 to 100 kg (120 to 220 lb) in weight about the size of a jaguar. The earliest species of Smilodon is S. gracilis, which existed from 2.5 million to 500,000 years ago (early Blancan to Irvingtonian ages) and was the successor in North America of Megantereon, from which it probably evolved.
S gracilis was similar to its predecessor Megantereon of the same size, but its dentition and skull were more advanced, approaching S. fatalis.
