Toggle2. Sparassodonts And Modern Cats



Ancient Feline Resemblances sparassodonts were carnivorous marsupials that existed in South America and resembled the now-extinct sabertoothed tiger. While they looked similar to felines, sparassodonts were actually marsupials, displaying convergent evolution in their physical appearance. This example highlights how evolutionary pressures can lead unrelated species to develop similar features.
