I recently read about them in Mauricio Antón's great book "Sabertooth" - before that I didn't know there were any relatives of good ol' Thylacosmilus!


I guess you already know that, but there's another illustration of Patagosmilus (which want to take down a Peltephilus), made by Velizar Simeonovski.


Great artwork, by the way! ;) It was among my "Favourites", but somehow I totally forgot this one. Silly me! :D
