I wouldn’t pet this “pussycat”. Those choppers look rather deadly.

I don’t think that it really matters that it wrestled its prey to the ground before it exposed the prey’s soft underbelly and then ripped it’s throat out.

The sabre-tooth tiger, whose fossils are found across North America and parts of South America, became extinct only 10,000 years ago. Not agile enough to catch smaller animals, it seems that it died out when its favoured large prey became rarer at the end of the most recent Ice Age.

The author doesn't mention that this coincided with the coming of humans to North America. You know, those eco-friendly Native Americans who lived in complete harmony with nature.

“Smilodon, the sabre-tooth tiger, roamed across North and South America until 10,000 years ago”

Global Warming / Bush’s fault

Maybe. That still looks like one pussy who would have been eminently capable of eating you.

About a year ago they had a special on Discovery or something, originally from the BBC, about the Saber Tooth. They built a mechanical device to mock up the big cat’s bite and used a backhoe to work the chompers on a big carcass, to study how the things worked. Two paleontologists had competing theories, and one seemed to be right and the other off base. I forget which one proved correct.

They'd better hurry up and figure out how to clone those things.

I want one.

Sabre-Toothed Tiger Was A Pussycat

No.  It wasn't.  Ok?  It wasn't.  A "pussycat" is that creature that sits on your grandmother's lap and whispers to her that you're worthless and that she should cut you out of the will.

The Sabre-Toothed Tiger was an incredibly deadly killing machine.

I'm so sick of editors stretching premises beyond all reason just to make a cute little pun headlines.
