This saber-toothed tiger roamed America about 2.5 million years ago. They are carnivores. Their tails were relatively short. They had a high forelimb but were probably not as powerfully built as modern day lions or Royal Bengal tigers. The massive front teeth may have evolved to pierce the skin of Ice Age fur animals.
