Modern day tigers actually enjoy water, so there is no reason to believe that the saber tooth was any different.
in the fresh water ocean.
yes i could be drinking the same water as a saber tooth layed on
Food water and shelter
Saber tooth tigers lived around the ice age. As the ice age ended the ice melted, the seas started to turn into water and the saber toothed tiger were on the ice, the ice melted and they drowned. There is another reason, at the ice age plants weren't able to grow on ice, so there were no herbivore animals there so the carnivore animals which are saber tooth tiger had to starve until they crossed to ocean, before they crossed the ocean they would have starved to death.
They did drink water but now they don't cause they died of but they also go t it from lakes or ponds.
Well, no one was around to record it, but the saber tooth cat's fangs, when it lowered it's head to the water, were more-or-less parallel to the surface of the water - that is, they didn't seriously get in the way, and even if they went under the surface slightly, it would have made no difference. Felines lap up water by extending their tongue, and the saber tooth cat would have been able to drink like any other feline.
Smilodon fatalis was the North American saber-tooth, smilodon populator was the larger South American saber-tooth. In North America, their contemporaries included the giant short faced bear, the American lion, the dire wolf, the grey wolf, the brown bear, and eventually the Clovis peoples. All of these animals would have been in contention with one another for natural resources such as hunting grounds, food and water. Under the right conditions any of these beasties would have been able to kill or be killed by one another. Fossil evidence indicates the the saber tooth was a social animal and may have lived in prides like lions which would have increased their ability to survive. In the end, a radically changing environment leading to a mass extinction of prey animals, competition with other predators for dwindling resources and the introduction of the Clovis peoples to the America lead to the demise and final extinction of the saber tooth cats and their lineage about 10,000 years ago.
The specialized parts of the saber tooth cat are its powerful muscles, a jaw that can open 90 degrees, and long upper canines. Those features made saber tooth cats excellent natural hunters. Their large size and musculature makes them an apex predator, so they don't have to worry about any other animals, like American lions and flat faced bears.
The Saber Tooth Tiger, also known as the Saber Tooth Cat was a large marsupial weighing up to 10,000 lbs. It had large fangs and long sharp claws to dig for insects. It's broad dorsal fin was able to propel it through the water quite rapidly. Although able to hold it's breath for many hours enabling it to feed on the shell fish at the bottom of rivers the large cat was quite at home in the tall trees where it would imitate calls and invade nests to forage for eggs. The native americans prized the pelt of the Saber Tooth Cat and would make great lodges out of the skins where they would hold elegant evening parties and lunches. It was once thought that the Native Americans hunted the cat to extinction, however; it has been shown that the Dire Badger, a giant man eating form of the common American House Badger, hunted and persecuted the Saber Tooth Cat. Only one Saber Tooth Cat remains today, living a peaceful life in a Sandusky Ohio trailer park.
A tooth in some water. :-)
