Dinailurictis

Dinailurictis is an extinct prehistoric carnivore nimravid belonging to the subfamily Nimravinae. It lived during late Oligocene in Europe.
It is believed that "Dinailurictis" is probably a synonym of "Quercylurus major", and "Quercylurus" is a synonym of "Nimravus intermedius major". So it means that "Dinailurictis" and "Quercylurus" may have looked like "Nimravus", but all species of "Nimravus" were no larger than a large lynx and "Quercylurus" was about 1 m high and its weight was 300 kg, also "Quercylurus major" is older than "Dinailurictis". This shows that "Quercylurus" might be ancestral to "Dinailurictis".
If "Dinailurictis" was a synonym of "Quercylurus", it might have a sleek body like caracal but its back was longer and feet of this nimravid probably were more dog-like than cat-like with partially retractable claws. "Dinailurictis" and "Quercylurus" probably hunted small mammals and birds. Its technique of hunting was ambushing them like modern cats rather than chasing them down. There is only one known species of this rare nimravid - "Dinailurictis bonali".
