''Paramachairodus'' (alternately ''Paramachaerodus'') is an extinct genus of saber-tooth cat of the subfamily Machairodontinae, which was endemic to Europe and Asia during the late Miocene from 15 to 9 Ma.〔(Paleobiology Database: ''Paramachairodus'' Basic info ).〕 ''Paramachairodus'' is one of the oldest known true saber-toothed cats. A large number of fossils were discovered in Cerro de los Batallones, a Late Miocene fossil site near Madrid, Spain. Two leopard-sized species are known, ''Paramachairodus ogygia'' from Vallesian to early Turolian age and ''Paramachairodus orientalis'' from the Turolian. A third species, ''Paramachairodus maximiliani'', is considered a synonym of ''Paramachairodus orientalis'' by most authors. The animals were about high at the shoulder, similar to a leopard, but with a more supple body. The shape of its limbs suggests that it may have been an agile climber, and could have hunted relatively large prey. ==References==
