[QUOTE="MythandLore, post: 209938, member: 180"] I've never heard of a lion growing back it's teeth... Anyway... Here is the La Brea Tar Pits website. [url]http://www.tarpits.org/[/url] In the FAQ: What are the most commonly found animal remains? Dire wolves are the most common large mammals from Rancho La Brea, with several thousand individuals represented in the Page museum collections. The remains of over 2,000 individuals of saber-toothed cat rank second. Here is some info they have on the "Sabertooth Tiger" [url]http://www.tarpits.org/exhibits/fossils/16-cat.html[/url] This is a web site that sells replicas - it has some sabertooth cat stuff. [url]http://www.evolutionnyc.com/IBS/SimpleCat/Shelf/ASP/Hierarchy/0309.html[/url] This is a nice site on skulls - if you hit the refresh button it will show diffrent random skulls as well [url]http://www.calacademy.org/exhibits/skulls/[/url] From the site on Sbaer tooths: Q: Why did saber tooth cats develop such long canines? CT: These teeth were specialized for stabbing and slicing they allowed saber tooth cats to penetrate the thick skins of even large prey and reach their vital organs. Smilodon, a cat that lived over 25 million years later than Hoplophoneus, developed even longer canines. Dr. Carol Tang Senior Science Educator and Research Associate Department of invertebrate Zoology & Geology Here is the site to the Los Angeles Natural History Museum - It has a part on the cat exibit they had (it's traveling so it's not there now) and it has parts talking about diffrent ancient cats. [url]http://www.nhm.org/index.html[/url] [url]http://www.lam.mus.ca.us/cats/home.html[/url] On the Smilodon fatalis Saber-toothed Cat: [url]http://www.lam.mus.ca.us/cats/encyclo/smilodon/index.htm[/url] On the Panthera atrox American Lion: (Which was larger then modern lions) [url]http://www.lam.mus.ca.us/cats/encyclo/atrox/index.htm[/url] And on the Dinictis False Sabertooth: [url]http://www.lam.mus.ca.us/cats/encyclo/dinictis/index.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
