Smilodon (Primeval)

The Smilodon appeared in season 1 of 2007 TV show called Primeval. Smilodon (or Sabre-toothed cat) was a predatory big cat, which lived in South and North America during the Pleistocene. As its name suggests, it had two large, saber-like teeth. Smilodon was the largest sabre-toothed cat, being up to two and a half metres long and weighing up to 400 kilograms. Smilodon was a prehistoric cat, which grew to 1-1.2 metres tall and weighed 55-400kg. (Primeval EvolvedSketchbook) Powerfully built, it possessed large, deadly sabre-teeth which it used to kill its prey by crushing its throat, and it was capable of running at immense speeds of approximately 30 kilometres per hour.

When hunting, Smilodon killed its prey by using its immense strength to pin its prey down before crushing its prey's throat with its sabre-teeth. Like some modern-day species of big cat, Smilodons would gnaw on the bones of their prey. But when fighting against more capable and defensive prey or opponents, Smilodon would instead go into an extremely wild, uncontrolled, dangerous and unpredictable battle frenzy; madly slashing at the opponent with its claws, and lashing out at anything else in its way that got too close.

Though they typically hunted in packs, a lone Smilodon was just as dangerous. Like many predators, they would typically go for easy prey and would pick off any who strayed from the group. This was shown when it pursued and killed Warren rather than the two girls he was playing paintball with, and when Abby Maitland used herself as bait to keep it from harming her friends.
