		+	==Origin==
		+	{{Wikipedia\|Saber-toothed cat}}
		+	''Machairodontinae'' is an extinct subfamily of carnivorous mammals within the family Felidae (also known as "true cats"), and contains many of the extinct predators commonly known as "saber-toothed cats", including the famed genus ''[[wikipedia:Smilodon\|Smilodon]]''. These saber-toothed cats are the best-known genera of [[wikipedia:Saber-toothed predators\|saber-toothed predators]] and were found across most of the world, living from about 16 million until about 11,000 years ago. The species is named for their massive canine teeth: ''Machairodontinae'' means "dagger-tooth" and is derived from the Greek μάχαιρα (machaira, "sword").
		+
		+	Previously, some species of saber-toothed cats were called "saber-toothed tigers", though machairodonts are not closely related to any living feline species; DNA analysis published in 2005 confirmed and clarified that the Machairodontinae diverged early from the ancestors of modern cats in their evolution.

 The saber-toothed tiger, a common term for a member of the genus Smilodon, is perhaps the most well-known of the saber-toothed cats.  Notable for the long, dagger-like fangs from which the name of the genus is derived, these apex predators stalked mammoths, bison, and other large herbivores across the plains of prehistoric North America.
