Excavated from the famous La Brea Tar Pits, this specimen represents one of the largest, most complete saber-toothed cats ever found. This specimen’s impressive canines measure 6.5″ (16.5cm) long. This Pleistocene predator hunted by ambushing large mammals, slashing them with its canines, then following the animal till it bled to death. This species was also prone to scavenging dead and dying prey, which ultimately brought many of its kind to meet their fate in the tar pits. The saber-toothed cat became extinct over 10,000 years ago as its prey became more and more scarce due to human competition.nSpecifications:nn1: 1 scalennPolyurethane resin castnnArticulated Skeleton Dimensions:nnGreatest Length 180 cm (70.8 in.)nGreatest Width 43.2 cm (17 in.)nGreatest Height 114.3 cm (45 in.)nnOrigin: North & South AmericanProduct of Bone ClonesnDue to this specimen’s size, additional shipping charges may apply.
