Dinofelis (name meaning "Terrible Cat") is a genus of large prehistoric saber-toothed cat that originated during the Early Pliocene epoch in what is now North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. One of the earliest cats with saber teeth, it was a highly adapted and successful member of its family and would have been a common element within many environmental ecosystems within its range, during the relatively extensive (for big cats) period of time.
Thought to have been extinct for 1.2 million years, there are still some that remain alive on Primeval Island.
