The Smilodon, also known as Sabretooth,[1] Sabretooth Tigers,[1] "Sabretoothed Cats",[2] and Saber-Tooth Tigers[3] were prehistoric predators to the early Humans.
History
Prehistory[]
Around 30,000 years ago, the Smilodon were predators to the Neanderthals.[3]
A few thousand years later, they met but couldn't hunt down the Inhumans, due to their powerful weapons.[9]
Pre-Cataclysmic Age[]
Sabre-tooths roamed the Southern Jungles, in the Unexplored South of Thuria.[10]
Hyborian Age[]
Circa 13,000 BC, great-tusked tigers were used in arenas in Acheron.[8]
General extinction[]
Although believed to be extinct in the outside world,[5] the sabre-toothed tiger continued to exist in the artificial preserve known as the Savage Land into the Modern Age, as seen with Zabu.[11]
Driven to near-extinction[]
The Man-Apes hunted down the Smilodon to near extinction. Zabu was nearly killed at the hands of Maa-Gor, but was saved by Ka-Zar.[12]Miscellaneous

Notes
- The nickname "saber-tooth" refers to the extreme length of their canines. Despite the colloquial name "sabre-toothed tiger", Smilodon are not closely related to tigers.
