Males tended to have longer/bigger fangs. There were also various contrasts between male and female sabers-toothed tigers. One of them was Zeke, which was part of a pack of regular-sized sabers and his appearenae was pretty different from theirs. Some specimens were smaller and had longer ears and saber-teeth, probably belonging to a different kind/species of Saber-toothed Tiger. Saber-toothed tigers were seen typically in small groups known as packs, such packs were held together by one alpha male who would preside over the others, making choices for the rest of the pack from how to attack prey to which direction they should take when migrating. Sabers were compactly built, with strong legs for running, sharp claws, and an often streamlined build: with these features, sabers were ideal trackers, able to pursue prey well, but faltered at swimming, with one saber, Diego, being an exception to this over time. Coated in short, sleek fur, sabers were often burnt orange or dark brown, though exceptions, such as Shira, a grey saber, existed: male sabers sported short, dark manes that ran down their neck to their back. Unlike big cats, sabers had very short tails. Sabers sat similarly to present day big cats. Their fangs were rather fragile and could grow up to eight inches long. Sabers were equipped with a number of natural weapons, from retractable claws to their most famed weapon, their long, saber-like canine teeth, which they used to seize prey, usually by the throat. Sabers stalked prey in packs, led by one alpha male, who directed them all in attacks and ambushes. They sometimes hunted mammoths, sloths, Freaky mammals, and even human children. Hunters by nature, saber-toothed tigers hunted and fed on other animals, especially Gazelles, Elk, Musk Ox, and Starts.
