The Sabertooth Tiger, or Smilodon, was one of the most iconic carnivores of the Ice Age, belonging to the sabertooth feline group. It lived approximately between 2.5 million and 10,000 years ago, during the Pleistocene, and inhabited primarily North and South America. It was characterized by its long and curved upper canines, which could measure up to 11 inches in length.

These felines were formidable predators, adapted to hunt large mammals such as bison and giant sloths. Their robust physical structure, combined with sharp sabertooth canines, indicated an evolutionary adaptation to cut and pierce the flesh of prey. Studies of Smilodon fossils have revealed details about its anatomy, social behavior, and ecology.
