Famous for its knife-like fangs, the scimitar cat's teeth were shorter than those of the better known sabre-tooth cat, Smilodon fatalis, but were equally lethal: its sabres were coarsely serrated, just like a steak knife, making them perfectly suited for slicing through the soft flesh of itsprey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis fierce feline was a master at pursuing prey, which consisted of ungulates including horses and camels. The scimitarcat would charge from behind a bush or tall grasseswith blinding swiftness, bowl over its intended prey and slash the throat with its lethal canines. Then, once the uproar subsided, the cat dragged its latest meal to its den.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was roughly the size of a lion, but with a lighter body that gave it more running flexibility than its\u003cbr\u003eIce Age cousins, other sabre-tooth cats and the American lion. It had a short tail like a lynx, and long, powerful forelimbs but slightly shorter hind legs that gave it a hyena-like stance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis fascinating cat ranged from Beringia, a prehistoricgrassland region from Siberia to Alaska too dry for glaciers, all the way to southern North America byway of the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Alberta. Having gone extinct sometime between 13,000and 11,000 years ago, the scimitar cat's demise was likely linked to that of the large Ice Age herbivores.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first coin in this series-the Wooly Mammoth-sold out.
