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","brand":"Johns Hopkins University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48224638468247,"sku":"9780801896644","price":13255.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780801896644.webp?v=1788763939","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-other-saber-tooths-scimitar-tooth-cats-of-the-western-hemisphere-9780801896644","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
