That is a very good question. Unfortunately, it is hard for paleontologists to tell very much about an extinct animal's behavior, much less intelligence. What they usually base an extinct animal's intelligence off of is brain to body mass ratio. However, sometimes an animal that appears less intelligent because of this turns out to be rather intelligent (mice, for example, appear smarter than elephants in this system, but elephants are very intelligent).

Besides this, there were many species of saber tooth cats, and each one probably had its own level of intelligence. However, overall, cats are generally considered to be relatively smart animals. Therefor, saber toothed cats were most likely not an exception.

Saber toothed cats became extinct at the end of the Pleistocene, 10,000 years ago. They probably died out because important food sources, such as mammoths and mastodons, became extinct. It is still unknown why those megafaunal herbivores died out.

The extinction of the saber tooth tiger poses many questions and theories. The answer to why it became extinct could be due to changes in the environment or human interaction. Around the same time that this species died out, so did 15 others, which can't be a coincidence.

The last glacial period seems to have been different from others due to the drastic increase in temperature and the transformation of grasslands into forests. This affected the saber tooth tigers since that resulted in a change in ecosystems, for example, the Bison lived in grasslands. With its habitat dwindling, its numbers decreased and so the main source of food of the saber tooth tigers went away.

Some say that perhaps humans played a role in the extinction. At about the same time they became extinct, humans were beginning to hunt better thus maybe they were killing the tigers for sport or protection (but not food).

Saber tooth tigers have been extinct for 10, 000 years. Characteristics in the saber tooth tiger are also much different than the Bengal tiger's characteristics.

For example:

Saber tooth tigers don't have stripes whether the Bengal tiger does.

Although they have different characteristics, they are believed to be strongly related.

There were several species of saber toothed cats, of which the last evolved species was Smilodon. There were at least three subspecies of this cat, ranging from 350-700 pounds, and although as big or bigger than today's tigers and lions, Smilodon was not closely related to them. Today's big cats are in the family Panthera, while Smilodon was in the extinct Machairidae group. While no evidence exists of their coat color pattern, there is some evidence they may have lived in small groups.

Saber tooth tigers eat plants for a clean out and meat for food. they would also eat other animals plants and meat not sure what kind of plants but plants and they would kill other animals for meat. does this answer your question?

Saber toothed cats would eat almost anything that they could bring down, which essentially meant anything in their environment, assuming they hunted in packs like modern lions do
Tigers hate cinnamon.

Because any kind of warm blooded animal can get rabies, saber toothed cats probably got rabies on occasion, just like modern warm blooded animals. However, rabies is fatal in a short amount of time, and therefor it is very rare in any type of animal.

Well, my best guess it probably hunted sleeping animals to avoid needing to fight or chase it's prey, like modren day lions or tigers. This probably made life easier for the saber tooth cat.

Yeah, they most likely hunted to keep it easy for them. They could just catch the sleeping animal and then enjoy dinner. They might have slept, too, if they aren't nocturnal. Hope that helps!

The saber tooth tiger, or more commonly known as the rabbit, originally started out from the planet Mars. In the early creatacious period they came to search our planet and their ship crash landed and they forgot all sense of technology. Then later in the 1920's on Mars something went chemically wrong in their beat labaratory and the planet was cleared of all life forms as we know it. So the answer to your original question is Mars. And yes, they still exist to this day!!

The bones and fossils of saber-toothed cats have been found on all of the continents except Australia and Antarctica. Note that saber toothed cats existed for more than 20 million years, and there were many, many different species, each one living in a different place or time than the others.

One of the most famous fossil sites containing saber toothed cat fossils is the La Brea Tar Pits in southern California. Besides saber toothed cats, a large variety of other Ice Age animals have been preserved there.

The term saber-toothed cat describes numerous cat-like species that lived during various parts of the Cenozoic and evolved their saber-toothed characteristics entirely independently. The saber-tooth morphology is an excellent example of convergent evolution as it occurred repeatedly and independently in at least four distinct mammalian groups. All saber-tooth mammals lived between 9,000 and 33.7 million years ago, but the evolutionary lines that lead to the various saber-tooth genera started to diverge much earlier. The lineage that led to Thylacosmilus was the first to split off, in the late Cretaceous. It is a marsupial, and thus more closely related to kangaroos and opossums than the felines. The creodonts diverged next, and then the nimravids, before the blossoming of the truly feline saber-tooths.
Different species of saber toothed cats existed between 23 million and 10,000 years ago.
