The saber toothed tiger is a mammal of the family Felidae in the order Carnivora. The saber toothed tiger was widely distributed on the continents of Asia, Europe, and America. It appeared in the Oligocene period 35 million years ago and became extinct in the Pleistocene period 1 million years ago. It lived during the Quaternary glacial period, during which herbivores were slow to move and easily hunted. But the ice age has ended, and cold resistant large herbivores cannot adapt to climate change, migrate northward, and die due to insufficient food. The saber toothed tiger lost its source of food and did not have an advantage in hunting, even becoming a prey for humans. In the end, it could only become extinct with the extinction of large, thick skinned animals.
