Smilodon or Saber Toothed Tiger
Extinct Genus
Smilodon is an extinct genus of machairodont felid. It is one of the most famous prehistoric mammals, and the best known saber-toothed cat. Although commonly known as the saber-toothed tiger, it was not closely related to the tiger or other modern cats. Smilodon lived in the Americas during the Pleistocene epoch. The genus was named in 1842, based on fossils from Brazil. Three species are recognized today: S. gracilis, S. fatalis and S. populator. The two latter species were probably descended from S. gracilis, which itself probably evolved from Megantereon. The largest collection of Smilodon fossils has been obtained from the Rancho La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, California. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saber-toothed_cat
Who wins?
Winner: Smilodon
The Smilodon wins with it's immense strength and its sharp fangs or sabers. The sabers are actually pretty fragile, it's like a knife, very thin but if too much pressure is put on them then they break. So they only use the sabers to the finishing blow to the neck. Dire Wolves hunt in packs, so if they find a Smilodon then they can kill it, but they will lose a lot of wolves. The Smilodon can put up a pretty good fight, and a Smilodon is almost never alone. 2 Saber-toothed Tigers are enough to take out an entire pack of wolves. If an unfortunate Dire wolf came one on one with a hungry Smilodon then it will be in big trouble. Dire wolves were scavengers, they had short legs making them a pretty slow runner, only about 25 miles per hour. Smilodons run at 45 miles per hour, and that is pretty fast. Their long tails help them balance as they run. The Dire Wolf was the largest type of wolf in history, while the Smilodon is second behind the AMERICAN Lion(yes, there is an American lion but that's extinct) in the big cats. If these two were to fight the Smilodon would use it's powerful front limbs to hold down the wolf while he brings his teeth down to it's neck, killing it... dun, dun, DUN!!!(Sorry I had to put it there). So that's it the winner is the Smilodon.
