Is a saber-toothed tiger carnivore?
Yes, a saber-toothed tiger is a carnivore. Saber-toothed tigers, also known as Smilodons, were a group of extinct feline species that lived during the Pleistocene epoch. As felines, they were obligate carnivores, meaning that they relied solely on animal flesh for sustenance. Their long, curved upper canine teeth, which gave them their name, were adaptations for efficiently killing and consuming prey. Saber-toothed tigers primarily preyed on large mammals, such as mammoths, mastodons, and ground sloths.
