Sabre-toothed tiger

Sabre-toothed tiger was a term used to refer to any of several extinct species of large, cat-like carnivores. This included the family Nimravidae, which lived from 37 million to 7 million years ago, and were only distantly related to modern cats, and the subfamily Machairodontinae of the Felidae family, which lived 12 million to less than 10,000 years ago.

When Molly Weasley was angry at her children, Harry Potter thought that "for a short, plump, kind-faced woman, it was remarkable how much she looked like a saber-toothed tiger."
