Dinofelis fossils and bones have been found in South Africa along with those of the baboons that it possibly killed.
Bones from several specimens of Dinofelis and baboons were found in a natural trap.
Dinofelis may have entered the place to feed on trapped animals or may have simply wandered into a location and was not able to escape again.
Several fossils sites from South Africa seem to show that Dinofelis may have hunted and killed Australopithecus africanus since they harbored fossilized remains of Dinofelis, hominids, and other large contemporary animals of the period.
Also, since Dinofelis remains have been found near Paranthropus fossil skulls in South Africa, a few of which have peculiar twin holes in their crania matching the Dinofelis upper canines's spacing almost exactly, it is possible that Dinofelis was preying on robust hominids as well.
