Book excerpt: The consummate guide to the ultimate sabertooth. Few animals spark the imagination as much as the sabertooth cat Smilodon. With their incredibly long canines, which hung like fangs past their jaws, these ferocious predators were first encountered by humans when our species entered the Americas. We can only imagine what ice age humans felt when they were confronted by a wild cat larger than a Siberian tiger. Because Smilodon skeletons are perennial favorites with museum visitors, researchers have devoted themselves to learning as much as possible about the lives of these massive cats. This volume, edited by celebrated academics, brings together a team of experts to provide a comprehensive and contemporary view of all that is known about Smilodon. The result is a detailed scientific work that will be invaluable to paleontologists, mammalogists, and serious amateur sabertooth devotees. The book • covers all major aspects of the animal's natural history, evolution, phylogenetic relationships, anatomy, biomechanics, and ecology • traces all three Smilodon species across both North and South America • brings together original, unpublished research with historical accounts of Smilodon's discovery in nineteenth-century Brazil The definitive reference on these iconic Pleistocene mammals, Smilodon will be cited by researchers for decades to come.

Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes a bibliography for further reading "Unrelenting angst through every fiberForever hanging over the precipice of defeatIt follows you: a rapacious saber-toothed tigerImplacable stare, neither attacks nor retreats..." - Tom Quigley, Savanna Mind (2016) It is difficult to ignore the effortless cool of a saber-toothed tiger. The fanged feline was equipped with the savage strength of a lion, the lethal stealth of a puma, the intimidating gait of a black bear, and the strapping, muscular arms of a gorilla. Amazingly, however, those traits did not stand out as much as the long, dagger-like fangs that earned the Smilodon its famous nickname. The saber-toothed tiger, legend has it, was as ferocious as it was fearless, often tackling beasts twice their size. Saber-toothed tigers were arguably the most fabled of all the Ice Age creatures. The fearsome beast has earned itself quite the reputation, and it has been referenced to, appeared in, and inspired unique characters in endless books, films, comics, and other pop culture mediums. For example, Marvel's Victor Creed, otherwise known as "Sabretooth," is most known as Wolverine's nemesis, and he's depicted as a hulking, vigorously robust menace in a red and orange-gold jumpsuit with a hunched back, a shock of wild blond hair, tiger-like claws, and frightening fangs. As that indicates, the prehistoric creature is often portrayed as impossibly cunning, unfeeling villains. Even in films geared towards children, such as the first of the Ice Age animations, the saber-toothed tigers, excluding Diego, are depicted as vicious and vindictive, lawless fiends whose sights are set on a Neanderthal toddler. The name and reputation of the ruthless saber-toothed tiger, as enduring as it is chilling, overshadows those of its contemporaries, and the fanged feline remains a household name and one of the foremost symbols of the Ice Age to this very day. So, what is it about the Smilodon that has captured - and continues to capture - the fears, morbid curiosities, hearts, minds, and imaginations of Holocene humans after all this time? And exactly how accurate is the general public's perception and understanding of the saber-toothed tiger? Moreover, if these saber-toothed beasts were indeed as merciless and indomitable as they are often portrayed, what was it that snuffed them out of existence? Saber-Toothed Tigers: The History and Legacy of the Most Famous Extinct Cat Species looks at the origins of the famous cats, the fossil finds, and theories regarding their extinction. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about saber-toothed tigers like never before.

Book excerpt: If you've ever wondered what the difference between a cat with a saber tooth and one without one might be, you've come to the right place. Listed below are Saber Tooth Cat Facts and some interesting trivia about these furry felines. Saber-toothed mammals are extinct and largely carnivorous. Their teeth are extremely long and curved, protruding out of their mouths when closed. The saber-toothed cat had a very sharp set of canines and a mouth nearly twice the size of a lion. It didn't have a strong jaw so it could bite bones, but it did use its teeth to tear prey to pieces. While the cat's teeth were very sharp and used for ripping and tearing, they didn't rely on them as a weapon - their teeth grew at an impressive eight millimeters per month, a rate equal to that of a human! The saber-toothed cat had long, muscular legs and a bobtail. Modern cats don't have long tails, which provides stability while chasing prey. The saber-toothed cat would have had to wait until its prey was in position for a fatal bite. Instead of chasing prey, a saber-toothed cat would have had to ambush to protect its teeth. Although the Saber Tooth Cat is now extinct, they were the most common predators of their time. The first saber-toothed creatures shared the same jaw structure as leopards, and as their jaws grew longer, their canines became increasingly sharp and their muscles became stronger, the saber-toothed cat eventually populated all of North and South America. While the saber-toothed cat had many species, the one most commonly known is Smilodon fatalis.

Download or read book American Big Game in Its Haunts written by George Bird Grinnell and published by . This book was released on 1904 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its founding in 1887 by Theodore Roosevelt and the eminent conservationist writer-editor-publisher George Bird Grinnell, the Boone and Crockett Club exemplified the intersection of aristocratic big-game sportsmanship (and active contempt for market hunting), scientific curiosity, and conservationist values which provided significant leadership and support to the conservation movement in this era. The Club published several volumes of writings before 1920; this one illustrates the Club's interest and involvement in conservation action through a typical range of articles on hunting, wildlife and wilderness preservation, and natural history by prominent members, including President Roosevelt himself, while the Club's Constitution and lists of members (present and deceased) specify its purpose and suggest its niche in the world of America's social and political elite.
