Why did saber tooth cats go extinct? |
Answer
Their prey was mega-fauna that also went extinct at the same time. Without something to eat, they died off.
Answer
They would have gladly eaten other things, but the climate was changing, and they were specialized. They were strong animals, but they weren't to fast compared to other predators. So as the forest turned to plains they had no place to lay in wait. And they had those massive fangs for killing Megafauna, fangs that are far to big to be effective at killing small animals.
