Namaste, iam Kathy Gannon, Have a Rock-and-Roll Day!
Whoa! Can you believe it? Living saber tooth tigers - they actually exist! Well, sort of. While the extinct species of saber tooth tigers that roamed the earth thousands of years ago are long gone, there is a modern-day version that still exists today. Known as the Smilodon, this big cat is a distant relative of the original saber tooth tiger and has some pretty impressive features. Let’s take a closer look at this amazing creature and find out what makes it so special!
What Was The Last Living Saber Tooth Tiger? [Solved]
Wow! Smilodon was a real badass. It lived during the Late Pleistocene, about 10,000 years ago, and its fossils have been found all over the place - from North America to Europe. Talk about widespread!
Appearance: The living saber tooth tiger is a large, powerful cat with long, curved canine teeth that protrude from its mouth. It has a thick coat of fur that ranges in color from light brown to black and white stripes.
Habitat: The living saber tooth tiger is found in the tropical forests of Central and South America, as well as parts of Mexico and the Caribbean islands.
Diet: The living saber tooth tiger primarily feeds on small mammals such as rodents, rabbits, and birds but will also eat fish and carrion when available.
Behavior: Living saber tooth tigers are solitary animals that hunt alone at night or during twilight hours when their prey is most active. They use their long canines to catch prey by piercing through the skin or throat of their victims before consuming them whole or in pieces depending on size and availability of food sources.
Reproduction: Living saber tooth tigers mate during the dry season between April and June with females giving birth to litters of up to four cubs after a gestation period of around three months. Cubs remain with their mother for up to two years before dispersing into new territories where they can establish their own home range
Living saber tooth tigers? Wow, that’s wild! Unfortunately, they’re extinct now. But back in the day, these fierce cats roamed the earth with their huge fangs and powerful jaws. They were a force to be reckoned with!
