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.
