Not A Cat

[edit]

Nimravids are not cats, they are feliform carnivores, but they are about as much of cats as hyenas are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Metalraptor (talkcontribs) 22:12, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dentition

[edit]

The text "not so particular about its food as its descendants, since reduction of the teeth was still in the early stages and Dinictis had not forgotten how to chew." is too compressed to pass on understanding to the reader: does reduction of the teeth imply reduction of the molars in favor of incisors? Its descendents, such as what? Another sentence or two could make these interesting points clear.--Wetman (talk) 23:08, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
