Saber Toothed Cat

Saber toothed cats were ambush hunters with elongated, flattened canines. The animal is represented by several different species that lived 11 million - 10,000 years ago.

Big Teeth, Weak Bite

The most well-known variety of saber toothed cat, Smilodon californicus, had canines up to twelve inches long. Digital reconstructions and simulations reveal that despite the animal's impressive, knife-like teeth, the saber toothed cat's bite was about one third as powerful as a modern lion. Scientists speculate the saber toothed cat used its powerfully built paws to bring down prey before applying a strangling bite to the windpipe for the kill.LiveScience.com: Saber-Toothed Cat Had Wimpy Bite (October 1, 2007)
