"Discovery of Prehistoric Cat Species Reveals Formidable Bite"
Paleontologists have discovered a new species of prehistoric cat, Magerifelis peignei, which lived over 15 million years ago and likely had a powerful bite. The fossil, a jawbone, was found in Madrid and represents a new form of feline with primitive teeth and a robust jaw. This discovery has important implications for understanding the evolution of felines and suggests that M. peignei was capable of exerting powerful bites, potentially enabling it to rapidly kill larger prey than similarly-sized felines today.
