Paleobiology

In the section with the above title, we read, '...near-adult cubs would have likely helped to restrain prey while their mother made the kill. Such behavior potentially was a foundation for more extensive social ties in later feliforms and felids.' It's impossible for the family structure of Barbourofelis to have provided a 'foundation' for future social ties in 'feliforms and felids.' Barbourofelis had no recognized descendants, certainly not among the felids, which belong to a completely different family. Even if it did, behavior deriving from the saber teeth of Barbourofelis would not be relevant for species that did not have such teeth, descendants or no. Unfortunately, I am unable to view the cited source text as it is not available for online access. RobotBoy66 (talk) 08:21, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
