What adaptation did the saber-toothed tigers have to make successful while it lived?

The most important adaptation of the sabertooth tiger were its very long canines (fangs) which allowed it to kill large prey with thick skin such as mammoths, elephants, bison, etc. By feeding on the very largest animals, sabertooths avoided competition with other predators such as wolves, lions and jaguars which would usually avoid such enormous prey.
Unfortunately that meant that when the big animals, such as mammoths, went extinct, so did the sabertooths.
