That's true about the saber-toothed cats. And actually the modern Clouded Leopard has a tooth structure that is very similar to the saber-toothed cats of yore. It's elongated skull (which is so different from all other cats that it belongs to a genus of its own) houses the largest canines in proportion to body size. The Clouded Leopard is also known as the 'modern-day saber-tooth.'
