Saber toothed others

I was debating ending the Saber-Tooth listing for now, but I decided against it. Here are some that I decided not to talk about though, because there isn't enough information to justify a full post or they're too similar to one of the others. In this case, because they're cat-types and I don't want to repeat myself too much. Sources are going to be mixed in here this time because I'm going to talk about them a bit more. Sorry if it's a bit weird. 

Firstly, Live Science has an article about different saber tooth animals, including some of those I discussed, but it also has a few species of not-extinct saber toothed animals. I bet you never thought that a walrus counts as saber toothed, but they do. They also have a few different types of cat that aren't the smilodon but did have saber teeth of some form. Included in that section are the scimitar-toothed cats, which is an interesting name. 

Another cat for the list of non-smilodon-saber-tooth-cats is the Xenosmilus Hodsonae, which is a bit new and has only been found in Florida. It got named after one of the researchers that helped discover it, and is also called a Cookie Cutter Cat. The link here will take you to a Florida Museum page that has a lot of information on them. More information can be found on this article from University of California, Bone Clones, and this blog post. 

Another ancient not-cat-saber-toothed-cat is the Barbourfelis Freki. You can find information for on WildFact here, Dinopedia here, and ChasingSaberTooths here. 

And even more is this one-- Hoplophoneus occidentalis. Information can be found on Bone Clones, the Black Hill Institute of Geologic Research here, and Dinopedia here. 

I know this is a bit weird of a post, but I'm still trying to figure out how I want to do all of this, so I can't promise that I won't do this sort of thing again. Either way though, I hope you enjoyed the post and feel free to request a subject for a future post.
