M. trumani was the most similar to true cheetahs in morphology. Living on the prairies and plains of western America, it was likely a predator of hoofed plains animals such as the pronghorn. In fact, predation by Miracinonyx is thought to be the reason that pronghorns evolved to run so swiftly, their 60 mph top speed being much more than needed to outrun extant American predators such as cougars and gray wolves. For more on evolution try Dawkins, ' The ancestors tale'& Daniel Dennett,'D.d.I'
custer state park just outside hot springs.....he's a smart one about 100 yards inside the boundry fence...not an animal in sight on the other side of the fence..funny
