A large sabre-toothed cat of the Pleistocene epoch (see sabretooth).
  • Smilodon fatalis of North America and Smilodon populator of South America.

  • The smilodon species are also known as Saber-Toothed Cats (which is inaccurate because there are other, unrelated saber-toothed ‘cats’) or Saber-Toothed Tigers (which is inaccurate, as they were not tigers)…
