Saber toothed tigers, similar to modern cats, had two main types of teeth. The long, sharp teeth that they are famous for were their upper canines, although they had a smaller set of canines in their lower jaw as well. The other teeth in a saber toothed cat's mouth were molar and premolar teeth designed for ripping flesh off of their food. These teeth are caller carnassial teeth.
