This volume synthesizes all currently known information about the scimitar-tooth\u003ci\u003es\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScimitar-tooth cats had serrated teeth that were shorter and stouter than those of \u003ci\u003eSmilodon\u003c\/i\u003e. Using a mix of new research and previously published accounts, the contributors examine all aspects of the natural history of these extinct cats. They reconstruct what scimitar-tooth cats might have looked like, discuss how they captured and killed prey, and describe their worldwide distribution and how they interacted with other, non-prey animals. Highly detailed descriptions reveal the biology of these cats, provide bone-by-bone comparisons of them to \u003ci\u003eSmilodon\u003c\/i\u003e and other cat-like carnivores, explain how they originated, and set them in an evolutionary context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichly illustrated and featuring the latest information on scimitar-tooth cats of the New World, \u003ci\u003eThe Other Saber-tooths\u003c\/i\u003e is an engaging and comprehensive collection of information about these fascinating felines that will appeal to paleontologists and anyone else interested in the prehistoric world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Virginia L.
