The Saber Tooth Cat's Main Enemies Were The Dire Wolf And The Short Faced Bear. (The Largest Bear In The World.) They Also Faced American Lions, Cave Bears, Neandethals, And Other Of It's Kind.
Because saber toothed cats became extinct before there were written records or photographs, and we have no definite paintings of saber toothed cats, we do not know what color saber toothed cats were. Furthermore, there were many, many species of saber toothed cats, living in different places at different times, and each would have been a different color.
Saber toothed cats were the Machairodontinae subfamily of cats. There are no descendants of the saber toothed cat left. The closest living relatives are the rest of the cat family.
Mammoth
Nothing, saber-toothed cats (or incorrectly a saber-toothed tigers) are extinct.
Saber toothed cats were a subfamily of cats called Machairodontinae. Machairodontinae fossls have been found on all continents except Antarctica and Australia. So the answer is yes, saber toothed cats did live worldwide.
Saber toothed cats belonged to the family Felidae. Felidae includes all modern cats. However, saber toothed cats made up their own subfamily in Felidae, called Machairodontinae.

Yes. The last saber toothed cats died out about 10,000 years ago.
Saber toothed cats belonged to the family Felidae, which is the same family as all other cats, including tigers. However, saber toothed 'tigers' were not actually a type of tiger. Instead, saber toothed cats belonged to a separate subfamily called Machairodontinae, and no surviving cats belong to that subfamily, including tigers.
First, saber toothed cats are not a type of prehistoric tiger. The name saber toothed tiger is a misnomer, and saber toothed cats are not ancestral to tigers. That said, saber toothed cats had very long canine teeth, which tigers do not have. Some saber toothed cats, such as Smilodon, had longer front legs than hind legs, which is different from tigers. They ran in a manner more similar to bears than to that of cats like tigers. They also had very strong upper bodies for tackling large prey, such as bison, which they then dispatched with their saber teeth.
saber tooth cats can live up to about 10,000 years!
