When it comes to prehistoric cats, the most famous is the saber-toothed tiger, and everyone must have heard of its reputation. The saber-toothed tiger lived in South Africa, about 10,000 years ago, and its most obvious feature is the two short sword-like teeth exposed in its mouth, which are about 30 centimeters long and used to catch and attack prey, which looks very handsome. It's no wonder that Marvel has turned saber-toothed tigers into a super mutant character in comics.
