Nimravus is an extinct genus of "false" saber-toothed cat in the family Nimravidae known from North America and Europe during the Oligocene epoch 33.3—26.3 mya, existing for approximately 7 million years. Not closely related to true saber-toothed cats, they evolved a similar form through parallel evolution. Fossils have been uncovered in the western U.S. from Oregon to southern California and Nebraska.
