Dinictis Skull cast replica. Dinictis felina
BC-030

(Stand included)

Dinictis lived on the plains of North America.  Ancestors to modern cats, this ancient skull is reminiscent of today's Clouded Leopard Skull, Male. About the size of today's cougar, dinictis had short, powerful legs and a long tail. Unlike extant felines, which walk on their toes, they were more flat-footed. The canines are elongated as with the later occurring saber-toothed cats but not as pronounced. This feature coupled with their smaller size leads to their label as the 'false sabertooth' cat. 2-part skull (separate cranium & jaw).

This rare specimen is from the Brule Formation in South Dakota. This Bone Clones® skull is finished to replicate its original, beautiful stone-slate color. The stand shown is included.

 

Dinictis is a genus of the Nimravidae, an extinct family of feliform mammalian carnivores, also known as "false saber-toothed cats". Assigned to the subfamily Nimravinae, Dinictis was endemic to North America from the Late Eocene to Early Miocene epochs.
