A saber-toothed cat (alternatively spelled sabre-toothed cat) is any member of various extinct groups of predatory mammals that were characterized by long, curved saber-shaped canine teeth. The large maxillary canine teeth extended from the mouth even when it was closed. The saber-toothed cats were found worldwide from the Eocene epoch to the end of the Pleistocene epoch (42 mya – 11,000 years ago), existing for about 42 million years.
Despite the "cat" in their name, these animals are not closely related to modern cats. These saber-toothed animals belong to three different biological orders: members of the order Carnivora, including Machairodontinae from the Felidae (cat family) as well as families Barbourofelidae and Nimravidae from the "cat-like" suborder Feliformia; taxa of the order Creodonta, specifically from genus Machaeroides; and two families from the extinct order Sparassodonta, which are more closely related to marsupials than to the placental mammals of the other orders mentioned.

↓ More info below ↓
Smilodon was a fearsome Ice Age cat, the size of a modern-day tiger, that had a pair of fangs nearly 18 centimeters long. But it was only the last and largest of the great sabertooths: ridiculously long canines had already been a trend for millions of years by the time Smilodon was prowling around. And you know what? Those giant teeth just might make a comeback.
Correction: At 4:22, we incorrectly use an image of a sand tiger shark in reference to a great white shark. We regret the error.

Saber-toothed cat struts down Wilshire Blvd in L.A. and comes home to the Tar Pits!
On Sept. 5 2012, our Saber-toothed cat took a stroll down to Wilshire Blvd. to announce that Ice Age Encounters will be at the La Brea Tar Pits every Wednesday and Saturday! Our favorite smilodon even got the CoolHaus Ice cream truck to stop by with some delicious Ice Age-themed treats.
Ice Age Encounters transports you to the Los Angeles of the Late Pleistocene. While on this journey, you'll meet the extinct creatures that lived in pre-historic L.A., and witness the natural processes that preserved their remains for thousands of years. You'll even survive a close encounter with a Saber-Toothed Cat — and meet the scientists who study its fossils at the Page Museum!

The Reason Why Saber-Toothed Tigers Went Extinct
Regular tigers are intimidating enough as it is, but the fact that there was once something called the saber-toothed tiger walking around is pure nightmare fuel.
However, despite their intimidating name and nature, for years it was believed that these predators went extinct simply because there wasn’t enough food for them to eat. It’s not a very dramatic way for one of the scariest animals of all time to go out, but now scientists don’t think this was the reason for their extinction after all. It’s time to take a look at the real reason why saber-toothed tigers went extinct.

Saber-toothed tigers, also known as smilodons roamed north and south America for quite some time, along with wooly mammoths. According to fossil evidence, they have been present for 1.8 million years ago. But around 12 thousand years ago, during the Quaternary extinction, The saber-toothed tiger went extinct along with many other animals present during the ice age. But what if saber-toothed tigers had managed to survive the mass extinction that took place at the end of the ice age, and had lived on until modern day? That’s exactly what we’re going to talk about, right now on life’s biggest questions.

A saber-toothed cat (alternatively spelled sabre-toothed cat) is any member of various extinct groups of predatory mammals that were characterized by long, curved saber-shaped canine teeth. The large maxillary canine teeth extended from the mouth even when it was closed. The saber-toothed cats were found worldwide from the Eocene epoch to the end of the Pleistocene epoch (42 mya – 11,000 years ago), existing for about 42 million years.
Despite the "cat" in their name, these animals are not closely related to modern cats. These saber-toothed animals belong to three different biological orders: members of the order Carnivora, including Machairodontinae from the Felidae (cat family) as well as families Barbourofelidae and Nimravidae from the "cat-like" suborder Feliformia; taxa of the order Creodonta, specifically from genus Machaeroides; and two families from the extinct order Sparassodonta, which are more closely related to marsupials than to the placental mammals of the other orders mentioned.
Over millions of years, saber teeth evolved repeatedly in different groups of carnivorous mammals, marsupial relatives like Thylacosmilus and “false” saber-tooth cats such as Barborofelis.
