title: Exposed weapons: A revised reconstruction of the facial anatomy and life appearance of the saber‐toothed cat <i>Megantereon</i> (Felidae, Machairodontinae)
abstract: Megantereon was a widespread saber-toothed felid from the Pliocene and Pleistocene of the Old World and North America, but its rarity in the fossil record makes it complicated to restore its life appearance.

In this work, we combine the analysis of skulls and mandibles of Megantereon from various fossil sites with the study of extant carnivorans through
