About Thylacosmilus[]
Thylacosmilus is an extinct genus of saber-toothed metatherian mammals that inhabited South America from the Late Miocene to Pliocene epochs. Though Thylacosmilus looks similar to the "saber-toothed cats", it was not a felid, like the well-known North American Smilodon, but a sparassodont, a group closely related to marsupials, and only superficially resembled other saber-toothed mammals due to convergent evolution. A 2005 study found that the bite forces of Thylacosmilus and Smilodon were low, which indicates the killing-techniques of saber-toothed animals differed from those of extant species. Remains of Thylacosmilus have been found primarily in Catamarca, Entre Ríos, and La Pampa Provinces in northern Argentina.[1]
In Game[]
Having nearly as much attack as health, it is unstable and is best recommended at the end of the battle after a creature with a lot of health as it can be almost unstoppable with a 7 or 8 attack

| 1 | None | 9000 | None | None | Often called a Saber Toothed Tiger and grouped with the Smilodon, this predator is actually evolutionarily closer to marsupials than cats! |

| 2 | None | 76375 | None | None | Thylacosmilus grew to about the size of a modern jaguar, making it one of the largest metatherian predators. |
|
| 3 | 100 | 350000 | None | None | The Thylacosmilus has a very weak bite and as a result, hunts by first immobilizing prey with its paws, than slicing with its saber teeth. |

| 4 | 100 | 1479250 | None | 208 | Like the teeth of some modern rodents, the long fangs of the Thylacosmilus continue to grow over its entire life! |
