Wiesbaden (saber-tooth tiger-blog) - From Baden-Württemberg is known so far four sites where remains were discovered by prehistoric saber-toothed cats, which are also called saber-toothed tiger. It is Burladingen-Melchingen, the former volcano at Höwenegg Immendingen, brick and stone home in Heidelberg an der Murr.
The finds from Burladingen-Melchingen and the Höwenegg are the lions large saber-toothed cat Machairodus from before about ten million years ago. In contrast are the fossils of similar sized saber-toothed cat Homotherium brick at Heidelberg (about 600,000 years old) and Steinheim an der Murr (about 300,000 years old) from the ice age.
Baden-Württemberg is one, along with Bavaria, Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse and Thuringia to the federal states in Germany, in which teeth or bones of saber-toothed cats and dagger-toothed cats were discovered. This is from the paperback "saber-toothed cats (GRIN for academic texts) of the Wiesbaden-based science writer Ernst Probst forth.
The richly illustrated 328 pages Paperback informed about the saber-toothed cats Machairodus, Homotherium and Xenosmilus as well as the dagger-toothed cats Paramachairodus, Megantereon and Smilodon. A centerpiece of the pocket book is an extensive list of localities from around the world, starting with Egypt and ends with Venezuela.
