'''''Prosansanosmilus''''' is an extinct genus of [[Barbourofelidae|barbourofelid]] that lived in [[Europe]] during the Early [[Miocene]] epoch from 18 to 15.97 [[Annum|mya]], existing for approximately {{Mya|18-15.97|million years}}.<ref name="Barrett2021">{{cite journal |last1=Barrett |first1=Paul Zachary |date=26 October 2021 |title=The largest hoplophonine and a complex new hypothesis of nimravid evolution |journal=Scientific Reports |volume=11 |issue=1 |pages=21078 |bibcode=2021NatSR..1121078B |doi=10.1038/s41598-021-00521-1 |pmc=8548586 |pmid=34702935 |s2cid=240000358 |doi-access=free}}</ref> ''<sup>Including supplementary materials</sup>'' It contains '''''Prosansanosmilus peregrinus''''', which died out in the Miocene epoch.<br />
<br />
==Taxonomy==<br />
''Prosansanosmilus'' was named in 1980 by Heizmann et al. with the [[type species]] ''Prosansanosmilus peregrinus''.<ref name="Heizmann1980">{{cite journal |last1=Heizmann |first1=E. P. J. |last2=Ginsburg |first2=L. |last3=Bulot |first3=C. |date=1980 |title=''Prosansanosmilus peregrinus'', ein neuer machairodontider Felide aus dem Miocän Deutschlands und Frankreichs |trans-title=''Prosansanosmilus peregrinus'', a new machairodontid felid from the Miocene of Germany and France |url= |language=German |journal=Stuttgarter Beiträge zur Naturkunde Ser. B. |volume=58 |issue= |pages=1–27 |doi= |access-date=}}</ref> It was assigned to [[Nimravinae]] by Heizmann et al. (1980); to [[Felidae]] by Carroll (1988); to Barbourofelinae by Bryant (1991); and to Barbourofelidae by Morlo et al. (2004) and Morlo (2006).<br />
<br />
A second species, ''P. eggeri'' from the Middle Miocene locality of [[Sandelzhausen]], Germany, was described in 2004. It differed from other European barbourofelids in having a more [[plesiomorphic]] ("ancestral") morphology, with less developed sabretooth adaptations and being smaller. However, the species is stratigraphically younger than ''P. peregrinus''; and probably part of the African faunal immigration into Europe during the Middle Eocene.<ref name="Morlo2004">{{cite journal |title=A new species of ''Prosansanosmilus'': implications for the systematic relationships of the family Barbourofelidae new rank (Carnivora, Mammalia) |last1=Morlo |first1=Michael |last2=Peigné |first2=Stéphane |last3=Nagel |first3=Doris |journal=Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society |year=2004 |volume=140 |issue=1 |pages=43–61 |doi=10.1111/j.1096-3642.2004.00087.x |doi-access=free }}</ref><br />
<br />
==Distribution==<br />
''P. peregrinus'' lived in MN4 of France and Germany.<ref name="Morlo2004"/> Two fossils of ''P. peregrinus'' have been found in France and another two have been found in Germany. ''P. peregrinus'' was a ground-dwelling creature.<ref name="Heizmann1980"/><br />
<br />
==Morphology==<br />
Like all [[barbourofelid]]s, ''Prosansanosmilus'' was very muscular, short legged and probably walked plantigrade (flat-footed). There are only two species of ''Prosansanosmilus'', which lived in Spain, France and Germany during the Late [[Miocene]] epoch.<br />
<br />
==Time range==<br />
''P. peregrinus'' is thought to have lived between 16.9 and 16 Mya. New evidence suggests that ''P. peregrinus'' lived 20–16 Mya. German scientists excavated a fossil of ''P. peregrinus'' dating 20 Mya. Other scientists think that ''P. peregrinus'' lived between 16.9 and 15.7 Mya.<br />
