nearly the entire proportion of fossils of batallones-1 were of carnivorans. the species of sabre-tooth cat known as "promegantereon ogygia" and "machairodus aphanistus" (the first complete skull) were found at b-1, as was "simocyon" a type of red panda. in regards to the saber-tooth cats, batallones-1 represents an ideal site for recording the percentage of specimens for which breakage of the upper canines occurred. promegantereon, machairodus and paramachairodus are perfect examples of this at batallones; fossils indicate a high number of canine breaks from where the teeth hit the bones of a struggling victim, indicating these early machairodonts would use their elongated teeth to subdue prey as modern big cats do.
