Description
Based on the skeleton of the so-called "Panda Cat," Xenosmilus is a short-fanged (sabre-toothed) cat with large, robust arms, but walked on it's heels like a bear does. I based this partially on the style of Mauricio Antón, but mostly it was my own "mammal" style here.
Edit: I should say that the reason it's called the "Panda Cat" is because what Virginia Naples and Larry Martin refer to as panda-like features, including short, robust limbs and a large, almost opposable true "thumb," the first digit has a huge claw and points inwards instead of being short and angled like a normal cat's "thumb."

Xenosmilus is cool. Didn't know they had pseudo thumbs. Perhaps.....in some far off, alternate universe....they became thundercats.
Do you know exactly what their canines were used for? I thought for some reason they were used to rip off glyptodon plates, but I don't think that true.
