The Story
Megantereon nihowanensis Skull
CB-20
A more complete skull than our Chinese Sabertooth Cat, this Megantereon nihowanensis skull has both sabers. A custom metal display stand is available separately below.
Late Miocene to earliest Pleistocene, China. The genus Megantereon has a very long history in the fossil record. It is found throughout most of the world. About the size of a stout jaguar but with a longer neck, this dirk-tooth saber cat was most likely a formidable predator. Most authors agree that Megantereon was a direct ancestor of the infamous genus Smilodon.
