The last surviving genus of saber toothed cats, the Smilodon, died out around 10,000 years ago in North America.
Two of the three accepted species walked the planet as recently as ten thousand years ago: Smilodon fatalis and Smilodon populator. The smaller of the three species Smilodon gracilis, which probably never exceeded 225 pounds departed earth's ecology about 500 thousand years ago. Perhaps bigger is better made sense among the early big cats. In any case they are gone, the big cats are at risk and only the common house cats appear to have a promising future.
They were extinct billions of years ago.
The last species of saber toothed cats became extinct about 10,000 years ago. This time is known as the late Pleistocene. They probably died out because many of the large game species that they depended on, like mammoths, American camels (camelops), and giant ground sloths became extinct.
The last saber toothed cats died out 10,000 years ago, at the end of the Pleistocene. They probably became extinct because many species of their megafauna prey, such as mammoths and mastodons, became extinct. Why the megafaunal herbivores died out is a mystery.
The saber-tooth tiger became extinct more than 11,000 years ago.
Well that s a good question ,but I'll tell you there's actually no evidence about that.
It disappeared during the drastic climate changes of about 10,000 years ago.
It went extinct about 11,500 years ago.
they died out in 10,000bc
Sabertoothed tiger
The real scientific name for sabertoothed tigers of all ages was smilodon.
There were many kinds of sabertoothed cats, and they varied in size from that of a large house cat to that of a tiger or lion, and some were even bigger. The classic saber toothed "tiger" is called Smilodon and the South American species could weigh up to 500 kgs!
sabertoothed tigers.
Cats did not evolve from sabertoothed tigers. Rather, sabertoothed cats evolved from other cats. Modern apes evolved from miocene apes, which were somewhat similar. Miocene apes evolved from some lemur-like primate, or perhaps something like a lorise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loris
A lot of people will say lion , however they are wrong because they are just stupid lion fans that know nothing about a tiger's advantages. The tiger will win because it is stronger! heavier, more agile, bigger, has longer canines, is a better fighter, is smarter, and is not lazy and waits for females to hunt. Tigers rule and lions are no sicken beans
you spelt "tooth" wrong and the date is... 11,000 years ago hope that helps
The Tasmanian tiger, more correctly known as the Thylacine, was last seen in 1936. The last known specimen died in the Hobart Zoo on 7 September 1936.
Climb to the top of the ice mountain and talk to the knight. Watch out- the sabertoothed helicopter is there!
There were three recognized species of Smilodon, or sabertoothed cat. The largest was Smilodon Populator, at over 800 pounds, the largest cat that ever lived.
The future tense of "disappear" is "will disappear."
No It does not disappear
