The saber-toothed tiger, or Smilodon, had to cope with significant environmental changes during its existence, particularly during the Pleistocene epoch. This period saw fluctuations in climate, leading to colder conditions and the expansion of grasslands and open habitats, which altered prey availability. As large herbivores adapted or faced extinction due to these changes, saber-toothed tigers had to adjust their hunting strategies and possibly shift their range to find sufficient food sources. Ultimately, these environmental pressures contributed to their decline and eventual extinction around 10,000 years ago.
