General saber-toothed tiger (American saber-toothed tiger) Latin Literature Name: Name smilodon populator Length: 2.7 m Weight:? Food:? Survival's: the late Pleistocene Survival Location: South Prairie Bath Peng Of species Mammalia mammalia Carnivora carnivora Cats filidae Name meaning: "bow teeth," referring to the arched molars. What is the American saber-toothed tiger to hunt it? This issue has been the focus of debate paleontology field, as long as ten centimeters of saber-toothed despite imposing enough, but scientists have already proved they are very fragile, and the chunky "scimitar teeth" were significantly more likely than rupture. This sword can not be arbitrary use of natural teeth, neither as hard as the fear of a cat bite the neck or skull, can not they seem like the saber-toothed tiger prey with the teeth in the chaotic program. A well-known in Los Angeles La Brea asphalt pits, the late Pleistocene there were large numbers of wild animals come to drink water bogged down and buried here, save for the fossils. This has been found the bones of American saber-toothed tiger with more than 2,000, and the number of herbivores found in the same place compared to some of disproportionate and therefore also suggested that they may be scavengers, saber-toothed only looks cool from the chilling effect. However, herbivores in the lake of asphalt into a large body of adult mammoths and large a huge American bison, the dying must be considered one or two large animals to come to attract a lot of saber-toothed tiger Jianpian Yi possibility (after all, no real animals "noble hunter"). The current popular theory that the saber-toothed tiger teeth mainly used to attack vulnerable prey in the stomach or throat, but more people tend to "cut-throat, said." According to this view, they are likely to hunt with a unique way: First, like other cats slowly creeping close to the prey (usually a variety of buffalo), and then, not by physical pursuit and consumption of prey, but with brute force Expand melee and prey, when prey uniform after a thorough use of the elite, like saber-toothed knife, cut off their strike and deadly carotid artery or trachea. This is indeed consistent with saber-toothed characteristics: In addition to the end of the "thorn" outside the edge of the front and back also has sharp edge, cut-throat easily; brittle, thin and curved shape of the structure is also conducive to faster _insert_ion and removal, reduction of saber-toothed get stuck in the throat or the probability of damage (but make them more vulnerable in other places, so that every struggling prey are likely to cause harm); can also explain their body, especially the first half of the Why is it so strong. However, such hunting methods really work? If the prey has been difficult to move, then use instead of "one hit kill," what is the difference? Lions and tigers do not bite the nostrils than make it more clear method of suffocation. Of course, everything is just speculation. The North American continent in the Pleistocene, herbivore species rich than the present, predators are also strong competitors such as forest. In addition to like saber-toothed tiger, saber-toothed tiger and the differences of American sword tiger that "America Three Musketeers", there is also a lot of life skills Face the beast of prey, such as weighing 700 kg and the mighty giant short-faced bear, than a modern lion 1 / 4 of the Americas to be the lion, running fast without the North American cheetah-lun, groups fear the wolf, hyena wide variety of animals, and survival to date cougars, wolves and lynx. Although the vast territory in North America, food abundance, but because so many wild beasts in this cluster, was extremely fierce competition for survival; and saber-toothed tiger on are not weak. First of all, for any beast of prey, the long teeth are very sharp sword deterrent weapons, even if not practical at least can play a "nervous knife" role; Second, three types of saber-toothed tiger's body are very strong , especially thick powerful forelimbs, but also having a sharp front claws, it is difficult to deal with melee; coupled cluster approach will likely lead to higher efficiency and resist foreign predators the ability to ensure that they are not in disadvantage. In the prey choice, like the American saber-toothed tigers and mammoths emphasis on saber-toothed tiger, large animals like bison, and short-faced bears, American lions to be in conflict; may vary saber-toothed tiger for food mainly in the American tapir, and other predators is not in direct competition. The smaller size, fast running various equine, deer, nature and the gray wolf is chasing the American cheetah, the object. From the fossil has been found, we know that three types of saber-toothed tiger in the Americas has experienced more than 200 years of successful evolution, especially the American saber-toothed tiger in the distribution and quantity are the highest rated variety of predators, but also achievements the whole family last saber-toothed glory.
