Smilodon Fatalis Reconstruction Poster
Mention “Saber-tooth” this is the animal that comes to mind. Found in the thousands at the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angles, Smilodon is California’s state fossil.
Though about the size of a modern lion, Smilodon was built differently and was heavier and much more robust than any big cat today. Thick, stout forearms and shoulders, a long and muscular neck, flexible hands with large claws made Smilodon a very potent stalker, grappler and subdued of large prey.
Bison, horses, camels, ground sloths and young mammoths were all potential food for Smilodon who might have hunted in family groups or pairs. Once wrestled and pinned, the prey would be quickly dispatched with a precise, shearing bite to the throat.

Smilodon was a very successful ambush predator, thriving alongside giant lions, dire wolves and giant short faced bears until the last ice age 12,000 years ago.
May the spirit of Smilodon, grace your presence and inspire you to be a force for a greener, wilder, sustainable future.
