The "saber-toothed tiger," Smilodon, is the CaliforniaState Fossil and the second most common fossil mammal found in the La Brea tar pits. The name "saber-toothed tiger" is misleading as these animals are not closely related to tigers
There's a series of movies called Ice Age - they are enough proof surely? When was Dinney Pixar ever wrong about anything?
Answer
Fossilized remains of their teeth and skeletons have been found in the La Brea tar pits in California. Saber tooth tigers were the most frequently found animals at that site.
They are but their related to the cat family
I think its more of a mold fossil and sometimes preservered
how was saber thoothed tiger formed
1842
sabertoothed tigers.
The real scientific name for sabertoothed tigers of all ages was smilodon.
yes
Sabertoothed tiger
No, we just kind of guessed they were there. p.s. It would be the fossil remains, not fossils in remain.
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
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.
how many fossils are in the royal tyrell museum
Fossils can be any Kingdom. We have found fossils of plants, worms, animals plus many others.
Climb to the top of the ice mountain and talk to the knight. Watch out- the sabertoothed helicopter is there!
Fossils show that there have been many plants and animals that no longer exist.
Dating fossils and artifacts are easy. Scientist can look and tell how old the fossils by how many layers is under it.
