It would be nice to them alive. Unfortunately, we can only see them in pictures and bones.They are fantastic species of cats!!!

Can we see most powerful prehistoric bears and wolves?

Can we see Kodiak bear vs Siberian tiger.
And can we see some matchups that include elephant seals and walruses?
Or blue whale vs pod of orcas?

[BaoNguyen-bhrk]

Super! I've never heard of most of these.

[Kilikkabs]

The American lion was the largest and most powerful cat alive

The Giant Cheetah actually wasn't a close relative of the Modern Cheetah.
It is its own lineage of felid, that is thought to simply have evolutionarilly converged on It's form and behavior, due to its role as open plains, chase-down predator
---the same role that the actual cheetah occupies today

The European leopard in 6th place?
How is it possible that a 120 kg cat can be placed before 500 kg cats?
It's like a lynx beating a lion!

"Smilodon was quite different from a tiger due to it's short tail and distinct body shape"
1 second later:
"Machairodus had very tiger-like dimensions and a long tail"
You okay bro? This channel's quality has degraded on so many levels. You either have no idea what you are talking about or you better get a new video editor.
Also why is the European cave leopard which weighed same as giant cheetah ranked above Dinofelis, Machairodus and Giant Jaguar?
