What is the best sabertooth felid genus and why is it Homotherium?

>saber tooth
>felid

>>2309416
Implying?

>>2309417
I'm just being a pedant. They're not believed to be in the felidae group. They're nice animals though. Hopefully they'll clone some soon.

Hell yeah they are my favorite of saber cats.

>>2309447
Why wouldn't they count? Do you think they're more related to the false sabers?

>>2309413
Smilodon populator is the best

That cat looks too tall

>>2309567
Nope

>why is it Homotherium
I'm pretty sure you like it because it has "Homo" in it's Name

>>2309707
Hmhmhehehehe
Uhuhuhuhuhuhu

>>2309707
Op here, top kek my dude. The real reason it's my favorite sabertooth is the cave in Texas they found with the mammoth parts that were fed on by homotherium like a butcher pit.

Cloning a potential apex predator with nowhere to put it in an ecosystem and no way to care for it in captivity is a horrible idea.

>>2309989
Agreed

>Not choosing Xenosmilus

Fuck off

>>2310032
I'm sorry, but douse xenosmilus have evidence of a mammoth butcher pit? No? Then shut your dick holster.

>>2310069
*does

>squandering precious genetic, biological and paleontological data because it might suffer.

I suppose your also the type of faggots that don't want tests done on on animals because it hurts your poor fee fees

>>2310069
Just because we've only found like 2 fucking skeletons of the thing doesn't mean it didn't butcher mammoths. All the power of Smilodon, none of the fragile teeth and meme status.

>>2310157
No, we just don't want animals to have a meaningless existence, like you.

>>2310285
(you)

hahahaha homo

Out of my fucking way newfags.Patrician choice passing through.

>implying all living creatures on Earth, including you, don't have a meaningless existence and this won't be true until the Sun boils the oceans in a billion years with all complex life on the planet ceasing

Millions of worthless rats die to advance science every year. Countless millions more die solely because nature is a cuntrag. Your senseless anthropomorphizing hurts your argument.

>FELID sabertooth

Get reading comprehension

>>2311831
Thanks for correcting me dude, glad this got sorted out

>>2311835
I would normally agree with you as reptilian megafauna>>>>>>>mammalian megafauna.

>>2311875
True, but Felid Sabertooths are among the coolest mammalian megafauna, along with the occasional creodont.

>>2309416
>>2309447
Could you perchance elaborate further?

>>2311784

I would just argue that learning an extinct creature's feeding habits, behaviors, and appearance is not enough to justify bringing it back to life. It has to have value beyond that, unless we just render them extinct again when we're done learning.
