It’s #Caturday and you know what that means! #CaturdayCatFact!
Sabre-toothed cats are named for their giant upper canines. In Smilodon fatalis, these can be as long as 26 cm or 10 in from root to tip!
Research has suggested that these giant teeth took as long as 41 months to fully erupt. While the adult teeth were coming in, the cat would have had TWO big stabby teeth in each side of the mouth!
