Saber tooth tigers did not evolve into big cats: big cats, i.e., lions, leopards, jaguars and tigers share a common ancestor with the small cats and cheetahs (and all other living cats), and, in turn, all living cats share a common ancestor with the saber tooth tigers from the Eocene.

∙ 13y agoSaber toothed cats, known by scientists as Machairodontinae, were a subfamily of cats. There were many genera and species, and each species had its own size. Some famous species include Smilodon fatalis, which weighed between 350 and 620 lbs, similar to Siberian tigers, and Smilodon populator, which weighed up to 1,000 lbs and was the largest known species of saber toothed cat.
