Sabertooth Cat Homotherium cf. crenatidens Right Saber CB-06-S A beautiful Right Saber, showing excellent serration detail, from our Sabertooth Cat Homotherium cf. crenatidens, CB-06. Age: Early to mid Pliocene, (3 million years ago). The genus Homotherium comprises a unique group of saber tooth cats. Besides having their front limbs longer than the rear, most have robust incisors accompanied by medium to short, coarsely serrated canines. They were most likely a pursuit predator, and the incisors may have been used in conjunction with the killing bite, unlike those found on the more familiar saber tooth cat, Smilodon. Although their range was extensive, known from North America, Eurasia, and Africa, their occurrence is somewhat limited, and usually with only fragmentary remains. We are grateful to the Babiarz Institute of Paleontological Studies for the opportunity to cast this individual. See related products below |
