| Xenosmilus is a genus of extinct Machairodontinae, or saber toothed cat. Two fairly intact specimens were found by amateur fossil hunters, in 1983 (1981 by some sources) in the Haile limestone mines in Alucha County, Florida. In 1994 the fossils were examined, and it was decided that the cats were of an entirely new genus, which was placed under the tribe Homotheriini. They lived about 1 million years ago, but as there are only two specimens of the same age, when they apeared and when they became extinct is unclear. Currently, there is only one specie known, Xenosmilus hodsonae.

Physically, the cats stood about as tall as a modern lion, with a highly muscluar body. Interestingly, before their discovery, all known saber-toothed cats fell into two general categories. Dirk toothed cats had long upper canines and stout legs. Scimitar toothed cats had only mildly elogated canines, and long legs. Xenosmilus broke these groupings by posessing both stout muscular legs and body, and short broad upper canines. Binomial name Panthera leo (Linnaeus, 1758) The Lion (Panthera leo) is a mammal of the family Felidae. ...
Found alongside the two skeletons were dozens of peccary bones. It seems likely, with their muscular builds, that X. hodsanae preyed upon the wild pigs.
