I agree that there must be some advantage to possessing sabre-like canines in view of how they have evolved more than once but those cats that possessed them were evidently less successful than those that didn't, otherwise they would be very much in visible existence today, whereas, if they do indeed still exist, are confined to much less visible localities.Dr Karl Shukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222845702628862829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-89393625731819286302020-04-12T13:25:40.684+01:002020-04-12T13:25:40.684+01:00Yes indeed, and there are also all of the terrestr...Yes indeed, and there are also all of the terrestrial sabre-tooth reports on file from both tropical Africa and South America, plus the aquatic sabre-tooth reports from South America, all of which still require documentation by me here on ShukerNature, but I have done so in my two books on mystery cats.Dr Karl Shukerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222845702628862829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-22078636642518159172020-04-12T09:30:24.811+01:002020-04-12T09:30:24.811+01:00I am always puzzled by claims such as that the sab...I am always puzzled by claims such as that the sabre-tooth would have been severely handicapped by its long fangs. Features which are a handicap to survival would not be selected for and so could not evolve. But the sabre-tooth attribute has evolved more than once. We don't know what advantage the it conferred but it certainly did not condemn them to starvation.PeterJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17265430545026772196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3739684561063978507.post-10214227808857127532020-04-12T09:08:40.364+01:002020-04-12T09:08:40.364+01:00You've absolutely been on a roll recently, Kar...You've absolutely been on a roll recently, Karl, with a new article being published almost daily! I guess people need something to do during the Coronavirus lockdown.<br /><br />This one was informative reading, introduced me to a ton of African cryptids that I have never heard of until now. Neither did I know that there have been this much speculation into survival of sabretooth cats, for that matter, those stories were to my knowledge rare even in "alien big cat" cryptozoology.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957730344128441993noreply@blogger.com
