First of all you should know that the correct name for these beasts is Sabre-toothed Cats. There is no such thing as a saber-toothed tiger. There were many species of sabre-toothed cats, and no they were not the first cats of all time.
The line of sabre toothed cats has been extinct for 10,000 years.
No. There were many type of sabre-toothed cats however.
There were many species of sabre toothed cats (they were not tigers at all), the largest was Smilodon Populator, at nearly 800 pounds or more.
Also known as the Sabre-toothed Tiger (Saber is alternate spelling a type of Sword). Sabre is the more familiar, they were a species of extin ct feline with the enormous front end fangs, Many fossils have been recovered, say in the La brea Tar pits so we have a good idea what they looked like. it is not knopwn if they were striped as the Tiger handle suggests. by the way the technical term for this (Hopefully, if you live in California!) exdtinct beast is the Smilodon, pronounced Smile- O- Don- the Paleontologist clearly having a sense of humor, Never smile at a Smilodon.
Nobody is certain why the saber toothed cats died out. They probably became extinct, however, because many of the large prey animals that saber toothed cats depended on died out. Theories for why this happened include climate change, overhunting by humans, and human induced diseases.
There where many predators even to the ferocious saber tooth cat, such as the terror bird it was very big and tall it would actually hunt these cats and eat them.
Looking at the skull of the sabre toothed tiger, I would say around 20 teeth. Only two long ones. They had two huge canine teeth that could get up to 7 inches long. Between these they had about half a dozen small, sharp teeth. In the back they did not have an alarming amount, just a normal amount of teeth.
Adult mammoths only had one natural predator, the saber toothed cat. Unprotected mammoth calves could have been hunted by many large predators, such as cave hyenas, flat faced bears, American lions, saber toothed cats, and Dire wolves, to name a few. Prehistoric humans also hunted mammoths, including adults.
A blue toothed whale is not a defined animal. Blue whales are baleen whales, not toothed.
