"By examining one of the largest global Pliocene collections of fossils in Langebaanweg, north of Cape Town in S. Africa, researchers present 2 new sabertooth species & the first family tree of the region’s ancient sabertooths. Their results suggest that the distribution of sabertooths throughout ancient Africa might have been different than previously assumed, & the study provides important information about Africa’s paleoenvironment".
