Main article:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smilodon.

The Smilodon is an extinct genus of machairodont pantherine. It is perhaps the best-known saber-toothed tiger and lived in the Americas during the Pleistocene epoch (2.5 mya–10,000 years ago). One of the largest collections of its fossils has been obtained from the La Brea Tar Pits. Three species of the genus are known; they vary in size and build. Despite the name, smilodons weren't actually related to modern-day tigers found in Asia. Their closest living relative is actually the clouded leopard, which are the only modern carnivores with skull features that even approach smilodon proportions.
