How to unlock the Apex! achievement in Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey - Definitive Guide

There's a total of 8 Apex Predators, best weapon to use is the sharpened stick

Crocodile - Found mostly in swamps in the Jungle, Woodland, and Savanna

Hyena - All over the Savanna in packs

Black-Backed Jackal - In the Savanna. Found mine at the Rock Arrow Oasis along the river and the Savanna/Canyon border near The Broken Arch

Golden/Black/White Machairodus (Saber-tooth) - Gold and Black can spawn behind you practically everywhere however it seems the White one doesn't spawn in the Jungle, only the Woodland/Savanna/Beach

Eagle - You can find one right at the beginning of the game. Just Outside the starting settlement there's a tall tree with an nest. Just stand in the nest and wait. Otherwise climbing a tall cliff at waiting there will also spawn one.
Pelican - At the Beach, Just like the eagle climb a tall cliff and wait

One big tip about the Machairodus colors.
It works a bit differently from the rest of the animals and if you haven't gotten a whitey yet, then this is important:

The game generates 1 'Stalker' Machairodus with a random colour. He will regularly keep spawning behind you (in any biome) out of nowhere to ambush you, until you kill it. When dead, it will remain dead until you jump ahead in time by generation leap or evolution, at which point a new one will be generated.
This is the ONLY Machairodus that can be white. If you still need to get the white one but the current stalker is a different colour, then you need to kill the current stalker and jump ahead in time to roll a new one.
(I can confirm it's biome independent, I did manage to get a white stalker in the jungle)

Jungle/Lake/Woodlands also have "normal" persistent Black and Gold Machairodi that behave like other animals rather than spawning out of thin air.
These Black Machairodi have a small territory like most animals and will never stray far from it, whereas the Golden Machairodi will wander freely.

The current guide doesn't mention how to attack.

How do we attack with a sharpened stick?
What buttons are pressed (XBox)?
Should we bring a kid and another adult for the fight?
What other weapons are possible to make and use?
Can we kill a snake? That's the first predator (and only so far) that I've seen.

This guide can be much more informative and proofread.

Two warnings about the rare White Sabertooth:

1. Remember to kill it before you decide to evolve again. Evolving may spawn the black or golden sabertooth.

2. Your hominid must deliver the killing blow.
It takes about 3 - 6 sharpened sticks to kill it.
There is a neuronal trait that your partner hominid can defend itself if there's a weapon in its hand. That was the case for me, and I didn't get credit for killing the White Machairodus. Urgh!

ATTACKING:
The game goes into a QTE (quick time event) when your hominid is too close to a predator's head. Hold A and press LS in the direction of the predator's head. Have a weapon in your right hand when attacking.

WEAPONS, Some weapons are:
Sharpened stick.
Altered stick by hand.
Altered obsidian.
Altered basalt.
Bone from a dead animal.
Any precious stone.

A new feat is learned for every animal being attacked with each weapon. Use them all, if you can.

UPDATE:
I wanted to share that I came back a year later and got my White Machairodus kill.
Only need the hyena and I've already discovered all 71 locations, so I know where the hyenas are.

I wanna kill an elephant, rhino & water buffalo too.
