The term saber-toothed cat describes numerous cat-like species that lived during various parts of the Cenozoic and evolved their saber-toothed characteristics entirely independently. The saber-tooth morphology is an excellent example of convergent evolution as it occurred repeatedly and independently in at least four distinct mammalian groups. All saber-tooth mammals lived between 9,000 and 33.7 million years ago, but the evolutionary lines that lead to the various saber-tooth genera started to diverge much earlier. The lineage that led to Thylacosmilus was the first to split off, in the late Cretaceous. It is a marsupial, and thus more closely related to kangaroos and opossums than the felines. The creodonts diverged next, and then the nimravids, before the blossoming of the truly feline saber-tooths.
Different species of saber toothed cats existed between 23 million and 10,000 years ago.
Smilodon, sometimes called saber-toothed tiger, is an extinct genus of large machairodontine saber-toothed cats that lived between approximately 2.5 million to 10,000 years ago
The saber toothed cat subfamily, Machairodontinae, first evolved about 28 million years ago and became extinct 10,000 years ago. That means that they first appeared during the late Paleogene period, and they lived through the Neogene and the early Quaternary periods. All three of these periods are parts of the Cenozoic era.
people say animals live up to 12 or 13 years but scientists think they lived up to 18 years old. it lived about 11,000 years ago during the ice age. in the Cenozoic era.
during th cenozoic era during the late plistocene durnig the ice age
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!

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
were dose the tiger live
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
Tiger Woods live in the USA.
No, tigers live in Tiger Jungle.
in the nature white tiger's live in the cold
They do live in the wild, but they do not live close by. The tiger is an animal that may eat the monkey.
Where do tiger fish live
