There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Xenosmilus hodsonae

I go back to what I told at #5, xenosmylus being a kind of "tyrex-saber toothed cat". From one side you have the machairodonts, smilodons and so one, being very powerful felids with a amazing weak bite force which are supposed to have brought down their prey thank to their strong front paws and only after (ie almost cautiously) delivered the deathblow by severing the artery or the jugular veins. From the other side you have the modern big cats with "normal fangs" (tigers, lions...) which get frankly in touch including shock towards the preys, the fangs being at once operationnal, efficient, the bite force is stronger but the fore limbs are not as powerful. Between them and the saber toothed cats, the xenosmylus which was able to physically control any sort of preys thanks to his very exceptionnal powerful body and his fangs being not as long as the machairodonts' ones, he could deliver at the same time the fatal bite by guting or disemboweling his prey anywhere on the body.

Perhaps the xenosmylus was not very fast because of its very stocky morphology, it must/should have laid its ambush with a very short running of attack.
