Ice Age's "Tiger" (Part II)

(continued from Part I)

Alright, finally we arrived at the last part!! Last three part, actually :v
As stated on the post before this, now I'll tell you guys about Diego's characters, his amazing abilities, and what makes him so unique compared to the other animals.

Okay, let's start already. From what I read, Diego's estimated body weight, which is in this case, Smilodon fatalis, is around 160-280 kg (353-617 lb) and 175 cm long, if we measured it from it's rump to snout. Even though he's quite long, his height is not bad either, with 100 cm tall, he can run so fast and prey on its prey. And lastly, I did said that his tail is very short, right? And yeah, I was right. His tail is just around 35 cm long. So, it's about as long as a 30 cm ruler, right? It's quite small for a relatively huge species like this.
Here's the picture that I got from google.

Fyi, that's the real thing lol, not like the picture on the post before. Back then, I put Diego's pic because I need to give you guys some visualization about the topic I'm going to brag. Because some of you guys might didn't actually realize that you already know a Smilodon before I write this. So I hope Diego's pic on the first post might ring a bell on your brain :v

Ok, anyway let's move onto Diego's amazing abilities. Even though I said "abilities", I'm actually just going to write one. The main reason is because it's already night and I AM really sleepy D:

Alright, so as we all know, Smilodon has a huge tooth that happens to be a devistating weapon on it's hunt. 

‬Smilodon also had weaker jaw muscles than many other large cats that had smaller teeth. The key feature of the jaws is the enormously wide gape.‭ ‬Compared to one of today’s lion's that can open their mouths to‭ ‬60‭ ‬degrees,‭ ‬Smilodon could double this by opening its mouth to‭ ‬120‭ ‬degrees.‭ ‬Although impressive on paper,‭ ‬this is actually a very necessary adaption if it were to get full use of its teeth without also being handicapped by them.‭ ‬Considering that the teeth were up to‭ ‬28centimetres long,‭ ‬the lower jaw would barely clear the bottom of the teeth if it could only open by‭ ‬60‭ ‬degrees.

AND FINALLY THE VERY LAST PART...

Let's talk about Diego's uniqueness. What makes Diego so unique? You might be wondering as of now. Because I do too.

Well, I don't know what makes Diego so unique, to be honest. But if I think of one, then maybe his tail size. I don't know how to put it, but he had a quite small tail despite his huge appearance. You might think that I'm joking right now, but it's actually my honest opinion right here, lol.

And yeah, that final part marks the end of our meeting for this topic.

See you guys on the next post! (That I hope will not happen anytime soon)
