Sup, iam Gregory Andino, Have a happy day.
Wow! The saber tooth tiger - what an incredible creature! It’s hard to believe that this fierce predator once roamed the earth. With its huge, sharp teeth and powerful jaws, it was a formidable hunter. But what happened to the saber tooth tiger? Well, scientists believe that climate change and competition with other predators led to its extinction around 10,000 years ago. It’s a shame that such an impressive animal is no longer around today.
How Many Bones Did A Saber Tooth Tiger Have? [Solved]
Wow! Among the millions of fossils found at Ranch La Brea—which date back to between 11,000 and 40,000 years ago—are about 166,000 bones of Smilodon. These include 150 narrow bones that range from one to four inches long. Get this: Shaw now reports these were part of the primitive cat’s larynx or “hyoid arch”. Crazy!
Appearance: Saber tooth tigers were large cats with long, curved canine teeth that protruded from their mouths. They had short legs and a stocky body, and were covered in fur that ranged from light brown to dark gray.
Habitat: Saber tooth tigers lived in a variety of habitats, including grasslands, forests, and deserts. They were most commonly found in North America during the Pleistocene epoch (2 million to 11 thousand years ago).
Diet: Saber tooth tigers primarily ate large mammals such as bison, horses, camels, and mammoths. They also scavenged for carrion when available.
Extinction: Saber tooth tigers went extinct around 11 thousand years ago due to climate change and competition with other predators such as wolves and lions for food sources.
Saber tooth tigers were fierce predators that roamed the earth during the Ice Age. They had long, sharp canine teeth that could grow up to seven inches long! These powerful cats were able to take down large prey like mammoths and bison. Unfortunately, they went extinct around 10,000 years ago. Ah well, at least we can still learn about them in books and museums!
