Sounds like they might have added an extra zero. Oops! Now I read that they were around as long as 2.4 million years ago. |

From Wikipedia: Saber-toothed cat refers to extinct subfamilies of Machairodontinae (Felidae), Barbourofelidae (Feliformia), and Nimravidae (Feliformia) as well as two marsupial families that were found worldwide from the Eocene-Pleistocene epochs (42 million years ago—11,000 years ago), existing for approximately 42 million years. I was unaware of that also. I always thought they were around no longer than a hundred thousand years ago or so. |

Glad they are not around now, mountain lions and pumas are bad enough to worry about! |
