You will never see a live saber-toothed tiger. That it because it became extinct about 11,000 years ago during the Ice Age. Even though it is called a tiger, scienties don't agree that it was truly big cat. It was the size of a present-day lion, but it had several features that made it somewhat different. For one, it had striking-looking teeth. It also walked flat-footed, much the same way a bear walks.
By comparison, all cats walk on their toes. It legs were short, which means it could't run fasr or far like most cats can.
Prediction and Confirmation :
1. The Saber-toothed tiger lived in North America.
2. This animal lives during the Ice Age.
3. It was about the size of a lion.
4. It did not walk like a cat.
5. It ate mastodons.
6. Its huge upper teeth were a striking feature.
Answer :
*Prediction 1 and 5.
*Confirmation 2, 3, 4 and 6.
