Capturing the Essence of a Sabre-Toothed Cat

Team members at Everything Dinosaur have tried to capture the essence of the Smilodon genus in a single picture.  It was obviously really, we had to focus on these huge upper canines that give these cats their name.  Remember these animals were not closely related to extant tigers.

Slowly but surely Everything Dinosaur team members are getting more confident when it comes to using Photoshop CS5 and other tools.  It really was an excellent Smilodon model to practice our skills on.

Everything Dinosaur stocks a wide range of Smilodon models and replicas, some of which are museum quality scale models.  To view a selection of prehistoric mammal models and figures available from Everything Dinosaur, including Smilodon replicas: Models of Prehistoric Mammals.
