what is a sabre tooth
Smilodon, the saber-toothed tiger. The saber-toothed tiger, Smilodon, is the California State Fossil and the second most common fossil mammal found in the La Brea tar pits. The name saber-toothed tiger is misleading as these animals are not closely related to tigers. Juvenile to adult-sized fossils are represented in the large Berkeley collections.
