 It is now generally thought that "Megantereon", like other saber-toothed cats, used its long saber teeth to deliver a killing throat bite, severing most of the major nerves and blood vessels.While the teeth would still risk damage, the prey animal would be killed quickly enough that any struggles would be feeble at best.At Dmanisi, Georgia, evidence also exists in the form of a "Homo erectus" skull that "Megantereon" interacted with hominids as well.
