Talk:Homotherium

Canine length

And... How much long were it's fangs approximately?

Body length

Just to compare, their principal measurement, length I guess or height if you prefer, what was it?

Moderation?

Perhaps this disagreement over Homotherium and whether it belongs in suborder feliformia should be referred to a moderator?

Not confirmed

I removed this from the article, because my sources (Alan Turner: The fossil cats and their fossil relatives) say something else.

• Both Homotherium serum (American scimitar cat) and Homotherium ultimum (Asian scimitar cat) from China, as well as Homotherium latidens from Europe, were derived from the Late Pliocene - Early Pleistocene (about 2 Ma) scimitar cat (Homotherium crenatidens) a widespread Holarctic species. It, in turn, was derived from Machairodus.

Homotherium serum

The scimitar-toothed cat is merely one particular species of Homotherium. Homotherium latidens is another. I suggest that this article be rewritten in a way that says this. A Panthera article wouldn't just talk about tigers or leopards. It would speak of the genus in general.Pinguinus (talk) 23:02, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

I agree in every way. Its time to merge it. Before you do that, though, look at this. A reference for a documentary. Taylor Reints (talk) 05:16, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

• More species stubs have been created. They should be merged into here again. FunkMonk (talk) 10:14, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

I think that the Homotherium serum article should be re-created, just with much more information (so that the article would qualify as a C class or B class article). Also, the new species articles, Homotherium crusafonti and Homotherium venezuelensis shouldn't be deleted because they talk about information that is not displayed in the article.

Well, if the species articles are going to merge here, certainly its information must be preserved. What about a section with some basic info about each species (or at least, the most well known species)? --Rextron (talk) 00:36, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Of course, merging means inserting the info here. FunkMonk (talk) 11:34, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
