[edit] Canine length

And... How much long were it's fangs approximately?

[edit] Body length

Just to compare, their principal measurement, length I guess or height if you prefer, what was it?

[edit] Moderation?

Perhaps this disagreement over Homotherium and whether it belongs in suborder feliformia should be referred to a moderator?

[edit] Not confirmed

I removed this from the article, because my sources (Alan Turner: The fossil cats and their fossil relatives) say something else.

• Both Homotherium serum (American scimitar cat) and Homotherium ultimum (Asian scimitar cat) from China, as well as Homotherium latidens from Europe, were derived from the Late Pliocene - Early Pleistocene (about 2 Ma) scimitar cat (Homotherium crenatidens) a widespread Holarctic species. It, in turn, was derived from Machairodus.
