Smilodon (Extinct Monster)

Today’s monster is an extinct one. Last Saturday I wrote about the mammoth and back then I had a request about a sabretoothed tiger by candleinthedark. So the monster today is one of the biggest cats in the history of our planet, meet the Smilodon!


The Smilodon, also called the saber-toothed tiger or sabretoothed cat, is a huge extinct feline creature that lived in North and South America. It was a formidable predator that went extinct only 10.000BC. The smilodons hunted a lot of different animals and many of them are also extinct today including ground sloths and juvenile mammoths and mastodonts.
The Smilodon is also a very popular extinct creature. It has appeared in countless games and movies. My favorite portrayal of this magnificent beast will have to be the BBC show Walking with Beast, where we follow life after the extinction of the dinosaurs. One of the episodes has the smilodons as the maincharacter and the viewer sees how the experts believe these creatures may have hunted, lived and died.

  8. 10000 years ago seems like a long time, but in the grand scheme of the planet it's really not.
