Hey, this is very good. Not the usual crap the algorithm is trying to make me chew. Take your sub and like. Good job, paleo power! ( also, first to comment jeje)
Wait a minute, let’s not forget smilodon gracilus, populator, and californicus, as well as fatalis. However homotherium and smilodon aka the sabertoothed cat were both members of the machairodontid family as well as megantereon and xenosmilus, and amphimachairodus and machairodus. So with that, yes homotherium or the scimitar toothed cat were both members of the daggertooth family of machairodus which is a sabertooth cat family.
It's good that someone is setting the record straight. I am also excited to hear that what I have thought for decades that Smilodons preyed on camels is correct after all. It is the first time that I, myself, have heard someone in the know state this.
One question, you said that the real sabre tooth is Smilodon Fatalis, but what about Smilodon Populator? Isn't he what's considered a sabre toothed cat as well?
This really is no sabertooth, while those tooth are big they are no longer than clouded leopard tooth, just a bit bulkier (and lacking lower jaw long canines). OTOH Clouded leopard is a bit like modern sabertooth, just a small one, size of about Eurasian Lynx. I wonder if given time there would be yet another sabertooth, looks like it is pretty successful trait to have.
Not jungles... that's why they failed to spread in South America especially vs Smilodon populator and fatalis. Also its scimitars were able to handle more stress than saber tooths
"The name Homotherium (Greek: ὁμός (homos, 'same') and θηρίον (therion, 'beast')) was proposed by Emilio Fabrini (1890), without further explanation, for a new subgenus of Machairodus, whose main distinguishing feature was the presence of a large diastema between the two inferior premolars."
@@KrytoRift Different languages "The generic name "Homo" is a learned 18th-century derivation from Latin homō, which refers to humans of either sex." & "The name "Homo sapiens" means 'wise man' or 'knowledgeable man'." "Human is a loanword of Middle English from Old French humain, ultimately from Latin hūmānus, the adjectival form of homō ('man' - in the sense of humanity)."

Thank you for your support!

Ill just be happy if it leads to more smilodon being depicted with their fangs being covered by lips when not in use.

Great video and deserves a lot more views!
Oh you know I see this video, I love sabertooth cats
I care about the difference, and am glad you clarified.
I thought smilodon populator was bigger than the American lion?
They're on pair
I hope to get a Skull of Homotherium

Imagine one in Star wars...
Lightsaber tooth!?😂

Scimitar cat has serrated knife like teeth like a sabre tooth. Not round cross section like lion.
a saber tooth has fine sertations that dissapear as the cat ages. homotheres sertations are present throughout their life@@lebenstraum666

Why "homo" in the name?

@FirstDagger why did I always think homo meant "man"
And no, not because of homosexual. But it all makes sense now

@@KrytoRifthomo does mean “man”, but in Latin, not Greek
@Publicistvideos ah gotcha
