All about Smilodon Skull (Saber-Toothed Tiger) Key Chain
Saber-toothed cats are known for their massive canine teeth. The most famous is smilodon, a powerful ice age superstar that lived for over 2 million years. Smilodon is sometimes called saber-toothed tiger, but it was not really a tiger.
Smilodon hunted giant sloths, camels and mammoths. It wrestled prey to the ground and delivered a killing stab with its saber teeth. Smilodon is well studied, with many bones excavated from caves, tar pits and other sites. Over 10,000 years ago as ice sheets melted, saber-toothed cats started to go extinct. Environmental pressures and fierce competition for food intensified by the arrival of humans likely played a role.
