5. Smilodon hunted big game animals like bison, deer, and even mammoths and possibly giant ground sloths.

6. Some fossil evidence suggests that Smilodon lived in packs.

7. Smilodon wasn't a fast runner, but they did have incredible upper body strength.

8. Smilodon had a weaker bite force than modern cats. Instead of biting their prey, they killed it by opening their mouth 90 degrees and then "stabbing" their long canine teeth into the throat of their prey, using their strong neck muscles.
