With today's technology it is possible to clone a saber toothed tiger. Now that is not so straight forward because first you have to find alive cells, embryos, or even bone marrow. Hopefully at some point we could find this, but so far I do not think we have had any luck. Then out of about 256 attempts you get a clone. Out of about 32 of those you get a regular clone with no mutations, abnormal skills, and mostly disease. Then you have to worry about public hatred, diets habitats, and laws. If you want my personal opinion, I am for it. I think cloning extinct animals is a great thing and should be done (unless it is like some disease or something, you get it).

No they have been extinct a long time
There have been several distinct species of sabertoothed cats through prehistory, all of which are now extinct.
There was even one marsupial sabertoothed "cat." The last of the sabre-toothed tigers died thousands of years ago.
no they are extinct, and they have been extinct for exactly 11.000 years
They did exist, but only in history. Due to the Ice Age and other complications the saber tooth tiger became extinct.
Saber toothed cats died out about 10,000 years ago. They probably died out because many of the large prey animals, such as mammoths, that they depended on, became extinct. There are many theories about why the prey animals became extinct, although there is no conclusive evidence that proves one way or another.
1. The prey may have disappeared because of climate change.
2. They may have died out because of overhunting by modern humans, which had just begun to live almost everywhere on land.
3. Humans may have spread deadly diseases that killed off the large game animals.
Not unless we can reconstruct their genes.
sabertoothed tigers.
The real scientific name for sabertoothed tigers of all ages was smilodon.
because as it lived in the ice age it must have been adapted to the environment but as the ice age ended the tigers would have drowned into the melted ice or they were probably killed due to the heat and changes in the environment. It could have also had happened because most of their pray ( e.g mammoths) would have died so they could have had starved to death.
Sabertoothed tiger
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
Climb to the top of the ice mountain and talk to the knight. Watch out- the sabertoothed helicopter is there!
they got poched
they were hunted so much that they became extinct
tigers won
They existed during the pleistocene (tertiary) era about 10,000 B.C. they coexisted with early humans, and also the famous wooly mammoth and the terror bird (phorusrhacos). they had strong jaws to latch onto their victims body and impale them with its large fangs and stay on their victims until they bled to death.
she concentrated on her study, but now, she will be back to play again, get ready to roar, tigers
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.
