Sabertooth kitty ping.
If you are here, there is always someone willing to hold your beer and 'watch this'. Yee-haw (boom) ;)
Back to the article, I think the 'writer' misabused the english language. Catz don't have arms. But a 'journalist' doesn't need those pesky facts.
Smilodon failed, and died. Long teeth and mighty 'arms' didn't help.
Should have worked on an opposable thumb.

Coffin races? Hmmm... I know I’m in a “race to the coffin” which I know I’ll win. Actually we all win that race at some point! Sounds entertaining though!
Most “Journolists” are a bit short on both writing and fact-checking skills from what I’ve seen. With my last English/writing class in 10th grade I’m not one to point fingers, but sometimes the torturing of the language even gets my attention. I r an Engineer! Tech manuals? I’m your guy. Articles? Not so much. But at least my written words are factually accurate!
Smilodon? I’ve heard it tastes like chicken! Or at least after the crock pot it would. “Arms” and all.
You can google my screen name and coffin races and see posts from years back.
And I can handle any kind of pesky cat that comes around.
