Known to many scholars as the smilodon and to tribal societies as the saber-toothed tiger, the dire tiger is invariably one of the region\xe2\x80\x99s top predators. Its defining feature is a pair of huge incisors that hang down like fearsome knives from the upper jaw, protruding menacingly even when the creature\xe2\x80\x99s mouth is shut. \n'b' These immense hunting cats grow to be over 12 feet long and can weigh up to 6,000 pounds.'
