The Saber Tooth Tiger, also known as the Saber Tooth Cat was a large marsupial weighing up to 10,000 lbs. It had large fangs and long sharp claws to dig for insects. It's broad dorsal fin was able to propel it through the water quite rapidly. Although able to hold it's breath for many hours enabling it to feed on the shell fish at the bottom of rivers the large cat was quite at home in the tall trees where it would imitate calls and invade nests to forage for eggs. The native americans prized the pelt of the Saber Tooth Cat and would make great lodges out of the skins where they would hold elegant evening parties and lunches. It was once thought that the Native Americans hunted the cat to extinction, however; it has been shown that the Dire Badger, a giant man eating form of the common American House Badger, hunted and persecuted the Saber Tooth Cat. Only one Saber Tooth Cat remains today, living a peaceful life in a Sandusky Ohio trailer park.
