Barbourofelis fricki
Author: Ghirin
Barbourofelis fricki ("Barbour's Cat") was a lion-sized member of the genus Barbourofelis from the family Nimravidae. Even though Barbourofelis strongly resembled the saber-toothed cats, the nimravids are no longer considered to be true felines due to distinct anatomical differences and are sometimes referred to as paleo-sabers or false saber-toothed cats.
Barbourofelis fricki was one of the last of the genus and roamed the North American grasslands approximately 6 million years ago.
