What are facts about a sabertooth that are interesting?

Answer 1

Sabertooths, particularly the most famous species, Smilodon, lived during the Pleistocene Epoch and are known for their elongated, curved canine teeth, which could grow up to 8 inches long. Unlike modern big cats, sabertooths had a robust build and powerful forelimbs, suggesting they were ambush predators that relied on strength to take down large prey. Fossil evidence indicates they may have lived in social groups, similar to modern lions, which could have enhanced their hunting success. Interestingly, their extinction around 10,000 years ago coincided with the end of the Ice Age and the decline of large herbivores they preyed upon.
