Nimravids and barbourofelids left no living descendants,

But I've got 2 felines that DID survive until recent time. And they look at me with a lean and hungry look, sometimes....

Give me a 30-30 and a smilodon anytime. Is safer.

Recent studies at the University of Upsdownia suggests that the nimrodivedia and the buickflavanoid le sabre toothed cat had no living members since they went extinct before dying.
Fossils of modern felines show that having powerful jaws is no protection when found behind exotic eating sites located in the Powerful Arms Deli.

Sabertooth cats and other super-toothy predators apparently possessed mighty arms that they used to help them kill.

So are these "arms" in addition to their four legs. Or maybe they ran around on their hind legs so their front legs became "arms". Or maybe some journalist is just criminally abusing the English language again.

#1 cause of cat extinctions during any era

Question. If these fangs were supposedly so fragile, then why did they “evolve” that way? No survival of the fittest? Why grow them if it’s no good? Just doesn’t make sense to me.
