SMILODON

Fossils of this animal, popularly known as the Saber-tooth cat, have been found in North and South America. They became extinct towards the end of the last glaciation period, about 10,000 years ago. Enormous numbers of their fossil bones have been discovered in Rancho La Brea in Los Angeles, making them among the best known fossil mammalian carnivores.

Combined with very powerful neck muscles, the long, laterally compressed canine teeth are thought to have been used like daggers to inflict deep wounds. These cats may also have employed group hunting methods, enabling them to bring down large animals, like young mastodons or mammoths.
