What Really Caused Saber-Tooth Tigers To Go Extinct

No doubt about it: saber-toothed tigers are awesome. Or at least they were. These iconic creatures lived on this planet as far back as 42 million years ago and ate mammoths, elephants, and even rhinos. Ferocious hunters, saber-tooth tigers were more bear-like than cat-like, using their giant canines to deliver fatal wounds to some pretty large prey. So what happened to them? It seems unlikely that something as badass as a giant cat-bear with teeth the size of your hand could ever be taken down by the forces of nature, but that's pretty much what happened. Here's why saber-toothed tigers went extinct.
