Xenosmilus hodsonae Occurrence: Pleistocene (Irvingtonian) (1.7-1 MYBP). In 1981, the remains of two specimens were found in the Haile limestone quarries in Alachua County, Florida. Rather than being a member of one of the two established groups of saber-toothed cats - Homotherium and Smilodon - in 1994, these specimens were suspected of representing a new genus, Xenosmilus hodsonae. This new genus combined the short, stout-legged features of the robust Smilodon with the scimitar teeth of Homotherium, resulting in a truly fearsome predator. This ambushing feline used its two long sabers to create two long slits in its prey. Its incisors would then continue to close in, grabbing at the flesh between the slits and ripping it away, thereby producing a huge open wound. The awesome strength of this feline's jaw was even greater than that of the Homotherium. We are grateful to the Babiarz Institute of Paleontological Studies for the opportunity to cast this individual. More information about this new sabercat can be found in the article titled "Three ways to be a saber-toothed cat" by Martin, Babiarz, Naples, and Hearst published in 2000 in Naturwissenschaften 87, 41-44.
