Saber tooth tigers have been extinct for 10, 000 years. Characteristics in the saber tooth tiger are also much different than the Bengal tiger's characteristics.

For example:

Saber tooth tigers don't have stripes whether the Bengal tiger does.

Although they have different characteristics, they are believed to be strongly related.

There were several species of saber toothed cats, of which the last evolved species was Smilodon. There were at least three subspecies of this cat, ranging from 350-700 pounds, and although as big or bigger than today's tigers and lions, Smilodon was not closely related to them. Today's big cats are in the family Panthera, while Smilodon was in the extinct Machairidae group. While no evidence exists of their coat color pattern, there is some evidence they may have lived in small groups.

Here are just three differences between lions and saber toothed cats:

1. Saber toothed cats have long upper canines that don't fit in their mouth; instead they extend down the front of the jaw. A lion's canine teeth fit perfectly in their mouth.

2. Lions have a level back, but saber toothed cats had longer forelimbs than hind limbs.

3. Lions have a stronger bite force than the saber toothed cat. They kill their prey by biting it on the neck and shutting off the windpipe, which suffocates the prey. Saber toothed cats dispatched their prey by opening their mouth 90 degrees, and then using their strong neck muscles to "stab" their prey in the throat.

First of all the "saber tooth tiger" was not a tiger at all. It was a very very distant relative of the tiger. A saber tooth had 2 tusks, where a tiger did not/does not.
