How fast can a saber-toothed tiger ran?

Answer 1

A smilodon did not rely on speed. If it could not sneak or tackle its prey, it wouldnt get a meal

Answer 2

Saber toothed cats weren't built for speed. The most famous genus of saber toothed cats, Smilodon, had a short lumbar region in the back and longer forelimbs than hind limbs, two traits that don't make very good runners. When it comes to hunting, saber toothed cats probably used stealth to get close to their prey, and then would tackle it with their muscular forelimbs. There is some evidence the Smilodon may even have hunted in packs.

Answer 3

Saber toothed cats were not built for speed. Instead, they would have hunted by using stealth to get close to their prey. They would then use their muscular forelimbs to tackle it. They could probably run up to 25 mph.
