Although none of them have ever been found... let's say with skin on the bone, it was said that they were a silver version of the Saber-tooth, and had a tail like a Bob-Cat. They had a silver/bay fur, that was dappled like a Bobcat also, but huge fangs like a Saber-tooth.

Big build, the size of a lion, and feasted on small mammoths and other mammals such as the horse of their age.

Does the scimitar cat roar?

The scimitar cat is the lesser known of the two 'sabre-toothed' cats of ice age North America. This extinct cat was a formidable hunter and evidence suggests it was the major predator of mammoths during its time. Scimitar cats were about the size of a modern lion but had longer, more slender limbs. Their most distinctive feature was their sabre-like teeth a feature that they shared with their American cousins, sabre-toothed cats. Several key features distinguish scimitar cats from sabre-tooths. The canine teeth of scimitar cats were shorter and more slender than those of the sabre-tooth and were finely serrated, making them powerful slicing tools. The scimitar cat had a somewhat unusual build with comparatively long front legs, a sloping back and shorter hind legs. From the structure of the hyoid bones in the throat of Smilodon, we know it could roar.
