Megantereon is a machairodont felid from early Pliocene to middle Pleistocene North America, Eurasia, and Africa. It may have been the ancestor of the later Smilodon.
In the Series 3 episode "The Walking Ape", a few Megantereon were brought to the park from Pliocene Africa 3.2 million years ago. They reside in the Saber Tooth Rock Enclosure with other saber tooth cats.
Later in the Series 4 episode "New Arrivals", a Megantereon was seen waiting to feast on a wildebeest that was killed by a group of Homo Ergaster in Early Pleistocene Africa, 1½ million years ago. It was not rescued and brought to the park due to already being at the park.
