A contemporary of the predatory saber-toothed cat Machairodus aphanistius was only about half as large dagger-toothed cat Paramachairodus ogygius.
existed during the ice age about one million years ago in Germany, the saber-toothed cat Homotherium crenatidens and the dagger-toothed cat Megantereon cultridens. Homotherium also included the animal world from the ice age about 600,000 years ago. At that time lived in Germany, huge Lion with a total length occupy up to 3.60 meters, European jaguars, leopards and cheetahs, as finds from the area of Wiesbaden and Heidelberg.
