Quercylurus
''Quercylurus major'' is an extinct nimravid carnivoran. ''Q. major'' is a member of a family of "false sabre-tooths", Nimravidae. It was possibly the largest nimravid ever known, as its fossils suggest it was similar in size to the modern-day brown bear and was scansorial.〔Jordi Agusti and Mauricio Anton: ''Mammoths, Sabertooths, and Hominids 65 million years of Mammalian Evolution in Europe'' , Columbia University Press, 2002, pp.81-83 〕 It was very muscular, walked on plantigrade (flat-footed). So far, there is only one described species within this genus - ''Q. major''. ==Taxonomy== ''Quercylurus'' was named by Ginsburg (1979). It was assigned to Felidae by Carroll (1988),〔R. L. Carroll. 1988. Vertebrate Paleontology and Evolution. W. H. Freeman and Company, New York 1-698.〕 but later, it was then later placed within Nimravidae.
