When did the saber-toothed tiger disappear?

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.

How does the background rate of extinction differ from mass extinctions?

The background rate of extinction is much smaller than those that occur during a mass extinction. For example, carnotaurus sastrei went extinct during the mid-Cretaceous, when only a handful of dinosaurs went extinct. On the other hand, 65 million years ago, all dinosaurs went extinct during the K/T mass extinction event.
