Abstract:
Two different groups of sabertoothed cats (Machairodontinae, Felidae, Mammalia) characterized the Early Pleistocene terrestrial ecosystems in Europe: Homotherium and Meganteron. The taxonomy of these felids is matter of debate, and their importance in biochronology and paleocology is analyzed. In Europe Megantereon become exctinct at the end of Early Pleistocene, while Homotherium seems to survive until the Late Pleistocene.
