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

This is an idiotic headline. Anything that could kill a mammoth or short-faced bear is not to be messed with. If the sabre Tooth was still around you would see Grizzly bears run from this monster.

Various ideas have been proposed: that the sabres were used to allow the cat to grip on to the backs of mammoths, like climbers using ice-picks, or that they were used to slice open its prey's belly.

Is it possible that those big teeth just got in the way? Just an thought...
