Sabertooth (Life of the Past)
"The best paleomammal artist working today [and] his knowledge of sabertooths and their evolution is second to none." —Lars Werdelin, Swedish Museum of Natural History"Mauricio Antón is one of the best paleoartists. What sets him apart is the fact that he is a great carnivore paleontologist in his own right. Probably no one else has thought more about sabertooth than he has. As a result, his illustrations often demonstrate a particular behavior of the extinct mammal that he has personally researched or display a unique point of view." —Xiaoming Wang, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles"This book provides a unique review of the many unusual and nearly worldwide occurrences of sabertooths and their relatives over more than 50 million years. Though geared to the general public, it is also useful for professional paleontologists.... In sum, a useful survey of the literature and introduction to the overall biology of these dynamic animals." —Choice
