Dinictis (SciiFii)

The lesser false saber cat (Dinictis minor), also known as the American leopard and the brown panther, is a species of the Nimravidae, a family of feliform mammalian carnivores, known as "false saber-toothed cats", that originally lived in North America from the Late Eocene to Early Miocene epochs (37.2—20.4 million years ago), existing for about 16.8 million years, as an extinct species of Dinictis and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the modern forests, swamps, open woodlands, grasslands, and shrublands across North America to help boost biodiversity. The lesser false saber cat belongs to the subfamily, Nimravinae. The lesser false saber cat has a sleek body around 1.1 metres (3.6 ft) in body length, with short legs 0.6 metres (2.0 ft) high with only incompletely retractable claws, powerful jaws, and a long tail. Dinictis walks plantigrade (flat-footed), unlike true felids. It looks very similar to a small leopard and its mode of life is similar to that of a leopard, hence its name. It is not so particular about its food as its distant relatives, since the reduction of its teeth is still in the early stages and the lesser false saber cat has not forgotten how to chew. In its own environment, it is a gracile powerful predator that fills the niche similar to the leopards of the Old World. The lesser false saber cat is a solitary animal that prefers to spend throughout its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the lesser false saber cat is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the lesser false saber cat's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
