This is Smilodon, another ancestor

He is also know as a "Saber-Tooth" He is as close looking to the tiger.

Proailurus was a compact and small animal, just a little larger than the domestic cat, weighing about 20 lbs. It had a long tail, large eyes and sharp claws and teeth, with similar proportions to the modern teenage tigers. Its claws would have been retractable to some extent. Like the tigers. These traits helped him live in his enviroment of trees, shrubs, and grasses. It's descendants were the tiger, lion, jaguar, cougar, bobcat,etc. It differs from each in color, weight, size, prey.

Overall Smilodon was more robustly built than any modern cat, with particularly well-developed forelimbs and exceptionally long upper canines(Two Front Teeth). Its jaw had a bigger gape than modern cats and its upper canines were slender and fragile, being adapted for precision killing. These attributes made Smilodon a specialized hunter of large herbivores, such as bison and camels.

During this time the Saber-Tooth was in a cold enviroment and adapted to its enviroment and nearly doubled in size. With much fur.

Panthera relied on it's stealth.skills to catch it's prey. Panthera's canines aren't as big as the Saber due to evolution, Now it has canines the size as today's modern tiger. It relied on it's traits to catch more small prey. It is most similar to tiger, because it shares the same look, prey, size. This ancestor had relatives such as Panthera leo, which was it's closest relative.
