Saber-toothed predator. From top and from left to right, Inostrancevia, Hoplophoneus, Barbourofelis, Smilodon, Machaeroides and Thylacosmilus. A saber-tooth (alternatively spelled sabre-tooth) is any member of various extinct groups of predatory therapsids, predominantly carnivoran mammals, that are characterized by long, curved saber -shaped ...
Smilodon is an extinct genus of felids. It is one of the best known saber-toothed predators and prehistoric mammals. Although commonly known as the saber-toothed tiger, it was not closely related to the tiger or other modern cats, belonging to the extinct subfamily Machairodontinae, with an estimated date of divergence from the ancestor of ...
Machairodontinae is an extinct subfamily of carnivoran mammals of the family Felidae (true cats). They were found in Asia, Africa, North America, South America, and Europe, with the earliest species known from the Middle Miocene, with the last surviving species (belonging to the genera Smilodon and Homotherium) becoming extinct around Late Pleistocene-Holocene transition (~13-10,000 years ago).
Oncorhynchus rastrosus. Oncorhynchus rastrosus (originally described as Smilodonichthys rastrosus[2]) also known as the saber-toothed salmon (now known to be a misnomer), [3] or spike-toothed salmon[1] is an extinct species of salmon that lived along the Pacific coast of North America and Japan.

August 19. (2007-08-19) –. November 7, 2007. (2007-11-07) Prehistoric Predators is a 2007 National Geographic Channel program based on different predators that lived in the Cenozoic era, including Smilodon and C. megalodon. The series investigated how such beasts hunted and fought other creatures, and what drove them to extinction.
It either came from a predator—namely a biarmosuchian, a therocephalian, or another gorgonopsian—or intraspecific face biting as is commonly exhibited in social predators—such as big cats or monitor lizards, and it has been suggested for several extinct lineages such as theropods, aquatic reptiles, and saber-toothed cats. Social biting is ...
Sabertooth fishes have moderately elongated and compressed bodies which lack normal scales. The head is large and blunt; the terminal mouth is large and lined with slender palatine teeth, and the front is mostly enlarged and is curved inward slightly. A number of shorter, straighter teeth accompany these fang-like teeth. The tongue is toothless.
