摘要：

Extremely developed or specialised traits such as the elongated upper canines of extinct sabre-toothed cats are often not analogous to those

摘要：

a sabretooth-like mechanism for Kolponomos prey-capture, whereby the mandible functioned as an anchor. Torque generated from jaw closure and head flexion was use
