Saber-toothed tiger did not only have massive teeth, but they also had a mixture of spots AND stripes. It was common to have more stripes than spots.
Spots usually appeared on the head of the saber-toothed tiger, and were mostly black and gray. :)

∙ 12y agoI am not sure if this is right but, I have heard that maybe the closest living relative of the saber toothed cat is the clouded leopard. Clouded leopards are substantially smaller but are agile and have abnormally large canine teeth. They are extremely endangered because of habitat loss and poachers due to their gorgeous white and black spotted pelts. Personally I think it looks better on the cats than on people.

How did sabertoothed tigers go eigstink?
because as it lived in the ice age it must have been adapted to the environment but as the ice age ended the tigers would have drowned into the melted ice or they were probably killed due to the heat and changes in the environment. It could have also had happened because most of their pray ( e.g mammoths) would have died so they could have had starved to death.
