(I wish I had blended out those big teeth before I scanned this, but I don't wanna rescan the fixed version so pttht)
Edit: This guy has a background now! I will scan him again when I can.
the biggest cat that ever lived. weighing up to 1300 pounds, this was an assassin among cats. smilodon had a weak bite, but this was little matter to a cat with 9 inch teeth. it was a pack-hunter and behaved like wolves do today. no animal was safe from Smilodon.
