Your Smilidon influenced tiger has the former, the 4E cave bear has the latter. Edit. Indeed your Sabre-toothed Tiger probably has an easier time employing it's fangs than the overspecialized real life predator <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Smilodon+fatalis" target="_blank">Smilodon fatalis</a>. The tiger's fangs are the size of a smilidon's, but it's body is twice the size of said smilidon, going from a 3:1 fang to body ratio, to a 3:2 fang to body ratio, far more useful to a multipurpose bite.Also, is that skeleton's zweihander intently bent? Nice work on the subtle details.</blockquote>
