What relatives did the saber-toothed tigers have?

Answer 1

Saber-toothed tiger did not only have massive teeth, but they also had a mixture of spots AND stripes. It was common to have more stripes than spots.

Spots usually appeared on the head of the saber-toothed tiger, and were mostly black and gray. :)

Answer 2

I am not sure if this is right but, I have heard that maybe the closest living relative of the saber toothed cat is the clouded leopard. Clouded leopards are substantially smaller but are agile and have abnormally large canine teeth. They are extremely endangered because of habitat loss and poachers due to their gorgeous white and black spotted pelts. Personally I think it looks better on the cats than on people.

Answer 3

Any type of cat like lions, tigers, and house cats

Answer 4

The closest living relatives of the saber toothed cats are other cats. I've heard from one source that the leopard is the closest surviving relative of the saber toothed cats.

Answer 5

Answer 6
