The smilodon (剑齿虎) died out probably about ten thousand years ago. Although it is also known as the saber-toothed tiger, it was not a close relative of the modern tiger. The more scientists study the two big cats, the more differences they find.

Tigers are not sociable animals. They generally travel by themselves. The smilodon, on the other hand, probably lived in groups. Tigers run fast while hunting their prey. But the smilodon, with much shorter tails than today’s tigers, did not have the balance to run at top speeds. It probably caught its prey by hiding quietly until an animal came near.

Another main difference between today’s tiger and the smilodon is the size of the smilodon’s teeth. It is known as a saber-toothed cat because of two huge teeth that grew from the top of its jaw(颌). These teeth grew up to nearly 18 cm long and were easily broken and damaged. The smilodon probably used the teeth to bite into soft parts of its prey’s body, such as its stomach. A modern tiger’s teeth are much smaller, but they are stronger.

The smilodon lived in North and South America from about two million years ago until about ten thousand years ago. Tigers, of course, still exist today and live in eastern and southeastern Asia. No one knows for sure why the smilodon disappeared.
