Saber toothed cat fossils have been found on all continents but Australia and Antarctica.
The saber toothed cat subfamily is believed to have evolved from Pseudaelurus quadridentatus. P. quadridentatus was cat that lived around 20 million years ago in North America and Eurasia.

Climb to the top of the ice mountain and talk to the knight. Watch out- the sabertoothed helicopter is there!
The real scientific name for sabertoothed tigers of all ages was smilodon.
Cats did not evolve from sabertoothed tigers. Rather, sabertoothed cats evolved from other cats. Modern apes evolved from miocene apes, which were somewhat similar. Miocene apes evolved from some lemur-like primate, or perhaps something like a lorise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loris
There were three recognized species of Smilodon, or sabertoothed cat. The largest was Smilodon Populator, at over 800 pounds, the largest cat that ever lived.
There were many kinds of sabertoothed cats, and they varied in size from that of a large house cat to that of a tiger or lion, and some were even bigger. The classic saber toothed "tiger" is called Smilodon and the South American species could weigh up to 500 kgs!
you can find eagles in Alaska those in Alaska were about to be huge and endangered eagles also live in the Philippines one eagle was found in the Philippines and named it the PHILIPPINE EAGLE in the Philippines 900 eagles was not found because if they seen by a person they will hide and when you turn your back you will die!
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.
A lot of people will say lion , however they are wrong because they are just stupid lion fans that know nothing about a tiger's advantages. The tiger will win because it is stronger! heavier, more agile, bigger, has longer canines, is a better fighter, is smarter, and is not lazy and waits for females to hunt. Tigers rule and lions are no sicken beans
They existed during the pleistocene (tertiary) era about 10,000 B.C. they coexisted with early humans, and also the famous wooly mammoth and the terror bird (phorusrhacos). they had strong jaws to latch onto their victims body and impale them with its large fangs and stay on their victims until they bled to death.
After the dinosaurs came the Quaternary period. In this period there was and ice age (the one you think about when you hear the word ice age) and mammals became the dominant life forms on earth. Mammoths, Giant Sloths, and Sabertoothed tigers lived during this period.
