"Mauricio Anton is one of the best paleoartists. What sets him apart is the fact that he is a great carnivore paleontologist in his own right. Probably no one else has thought more about sabertooth than he has. As a result, his illustrations often demonstrate a particular behavior of the extinct mammal that he has personally researched or display a unique point of view." - Xiaoming Wang, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles "The best paleomammal artist working today [and] his knowledge of sabertooths and their evolution is second to none." - Lars Werdelin, Swedish Museum of Natural History
