A saber toothed squirrel?!
Wow, scientists working in Argentina have found fossil evidence of a "saber toothed squirrel".

I saw a news crawl about this during some program and meant to check it out. I'm going to try and find a photo of it.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

I heard saber tooth cats were the "parents" of all big cats todayComment

Where you hear that from? The big cats are of the subfamily pantherinae, while Smilodon was of subfamily machairodontinae. The break between the ancestors of, let's say, tigers and smilodons, occurred before smilodons appeared.Originally posted by Berzerker View Post"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

With the exception of jaguars, modern big cats don't even live in North America. (cougars are not panthera)Originally posted by Berzerker View Post
DNA analysis published in 2005 confirmed and clarified cladistic analysis in showing that the Machairodontinae diverged early from the ancestors of modern cats and are not closely related to any living feline species.[2] Sabertooths also coexisted in many places together with conical-toothed cats. In Africa and Eurasia, sabertooths competed with several pantherines and cheetahs until the early or middle Pleistocene. Homotherium survived in Northern Europe even until the late Pleistocene. In the Americas they coexisted together with the cougar, American lion, American cheetah, and jaguar until the late Pleistocene. Saber-toothed and conical-toothed cats competed with each other for food resources, until the last of the former became extinct. All recent felids have more or less conical-shaped upper canines."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

...and if you're simply mapping genomes, humans and bananas are almost identical.
Albie is about 80% banana.

Fine, it's the remaining 20 % that worries me

Tigers/Lions/Leopards did not evolve from Smilodons!
