What do saber tooth tiger eat?

Answer 1

The primary prey of saber toothed tigers were big game animals. They would have hunted deer, bison, camelops (an extinct species of North American camel), and even mammoths and giant ground sloths. At the end of the ice age, many of these large prey animals that the saber toothed cat depended on died out, and the saber toothed cat became extinct.

Answer 2

Saber tooth tigers eat plants for a clean out and meat for food. they would also eat other animals plants and meat not sure what kind of plants but plants and they would kill other animals for meat. does this answer your question?

Saber toothed cats would eat almost anything that they could bring down, which essentially meant anything in their environment, assuming they hunted in packs like modern lions do

Answer 3

As usual with fossils, the teeth are the clue. The "stabbing cats" were especially adapted to prey on big game. Smilodon's diets probably included young elephants, camels, giant pigs, elk... Of course, he probably wasn't averse to taking a small horse or an early human if he could get one.

Answer 4

Smilodon was the largest saber-toothed cat (or saber-toothed tiger). Smilodon first appeared about 1.6 million years ago and lived in North and South America. This ferocious cat went extinct 11,000 years ago. It lived during the last ice age on Earth, in which the Earth got much colder than it is now. Ice sheets and glaciers covered much of the land.

Anatomy: Smilodon was a fierce predator about 4-5 feet (1.2-1.5 m) long and 3 feet (0.9 m) tall. It weighed about 440 lbs (200 kg). It was a bit smaller than a modern-day lion, but much heavier. Its 12-inch-long (30 cm) skull had 2 huge canine teeth. These saber-like teeth were serrated, oval in cross-section, and up to 7 inches (18 cm) long.

Smilodon had relatively short legs and a short, bobbed tail. Its front legs were especially powerful. Its body was adapted for springing onto prey, but it was not a very fast runner.

Diet: Smilodon was a carnivore, a meat-eater. This ferocious hunter may have eaten thick-skinned prey like mastodons (hairy, extinct elephants), horses, and bison. It probably ambushed its prey since its short legs limited its running speed. Its hunting strategy may have been to mortally wound its prey with its saber-like teeth, probably in the belly, and let the victim bleed to death.

Answer 5

They eat meat, flesh, blood, organs and fish.

They hunt it down by using there incredibly long, strong and powerfull canines, and there muscular sharp claws.

They were swift and agile and hunted in packs so it was easier to get a meal.

But because they were team hunters they had to share the prey. So they hunted alot.
