Sabre tooth tiger

The sabre tooth tiger is a feline native to America, which disappeared 10,000 years ago during the megafauna extinction.

It was characterised by its prominent canine teeth, about twenty centimetres long, a weight of about 250 kilogrammes and an impressive bone and muscle structure.

It could probably prey on large mammals, such as the bison.
