The exciting new Schleich Smilodon model has arrived at Everything Dinosaur! This impressive prehistoric animal figure celebrates one of the most recognisable predators of the Ice Age. Fans of prehistoric mammals and model collectors can now add this famous sabre-toothed cat to their collections.

The Schleich Smilodon figure shown in left lateral view. The coat is predominantly tawny coloured. However, there are brown and black markings incorporated too.

A Fearsome Ice Age Predator

Smilodon was a powerful prehistoric cat best known for its enormous, elongated upper canine teeth. These formidable teeth have helped make this extinct predator one of the most famous prehistoric mammals.

Although frequently called a sabre-toothed tiger, Smilodon was not closely related to modern tigers. It belonged to an extinct group of cats known as the machairodontines (Machairodontinae subfamily).  The fact sheet that we supply free of charge with this model, explains Smilodon’s taxonomy.

To read an article from Everything Dinosaur that helps to explain this mistaken perception: Sabre-toothed Cats are not Closely Related to Tigers.

The new Schleich Smilodon model provides an excellent opportunity to introduce young prehistoric animal enthusiasts to the remarkable mammals that lived during the Ice Age.

Ice Age Models Remain Extremely Popular

The model shows some incredible detail.  The open mouth gives collectors the opportunity to see the remarkable Smilodon dentition.

The Schleich Smilodon model seems to be roaring. The details of the interior of the mouth can be seen clearly.

Mike from Everything Dinosaur commented:

“Prehistoric mammal models have always been popular with our customers. Smilodon is a particular favourite, thanks to those spectacular sabre-like teeth. Although dinosaurs attract a great deal of attention, Ice Age animals have a tremendous following too. We are delighted to welcome this new Schleich Smilodon into our range.”
