Anyway, today I'm going to tell you guys about one of the extinct animal that is quite famous, maybe. But for you guys who had watched "Ice Age" Film years ago AND read this post's title (lol) , you might know what's I'm going to post here today. Here's the picture!

(What a smug face, huh?)
Well, to start off, let's clear some misunderstanding first. MAYBE, MAYBE okay, some of you might think that this is actually a tiger. But let's take a closer look. First, if you read carefully, I did mention that I will tell you guys about "One of the extinct animal". Does tiger already extinct in the 21st century? I think no. Second, tiger nowadays doesn't have a fang that long, right? Not to mention that very short tail. But yeah, those parts of him makes him pretty cool in my opinion, even more that Modern's Tiger. And that's why I decided to tell you guys about "Diego", rather than a tiger.
Okay, I think I'll tell you guys about the things that I'm gonna write about Diego today. Firstly, of course, who the **** is Diego? We already know he is not a tiger, than what? Second, we need to know his life cycle. Does his life cycle match with tiger nowadays? And lastly, I'll tell you guys about his characters, his freaking awesome abilities, and what makes him so unique compared to the other species, for me. Ok, because I don't want this post to be too long like the post before this, let's start right away.
What's first? Right, his name. His name is Diego, lol. No, no, his actual name is actually Saber-toothed cat. A CAT!?!? Damn....
We're all an intelligent person, so let's talk about some basic Biology right now (even though I'm bad at it). From what I got from wikipedia.org, this is his REAL IDENTITY according to the classification system, you know, those Animalia, Phylum, Class or whatsoever thing.
Kingdom : Animalia
Phyluum : Chordata
Class : Mammalia
Order : Carnivora
Suborder : Felifornia
Family : Felidae
Subfamily : Machairodontinae
Tribe : Smilodontini
Genus : Smilodon
There's actually a lot of species from Smilodon genus, but I'm just gonna write one (lol), and that's S. fatalis.
Ok, so now you already know who Diego is, right? :D Even though you don't really understand those classification, just remember that Diego is a sabre-toothed cat from Smilodon Genus, that's it.
And now, let's move onto the second one, and that's his life cycle. Do I really need to write it? D:, it's a mammal and of course they give birth to they child, not through eggs like Aves. So yeah, basically like this. Let's say there are two Smilodon, a male and a female. They both engage with each other, and this and that happen, and so they give birth to they child. When the child were not strong enough to hunt by himself, the parents gave him their share food. But as time goes by, the parents teach their child how to hunt properly. So as for the question I asked on the previous paragraph, the answer is No. Their life cycle doesn't had any significant differences with the modern tigers.
Oh, right. I actually forgot to mention this before. Maybe some of you guys wondering how does this COOL Sabre-toothed cat went extinct? Well, it's actually like this. They lived in the Americas during the Pleistocene epoch (2.5 mya–10,000 years ago). They roamed the mid-western US and parts of both
North and South America and were named for the enormous canines which
skeletons show, protruded quite far out of their mouths. It became
extinct in the Quanternary period(the end of the dinosaur period) and
during the ice age. So yeah, it does actually makes sense why in the "Ice Age" Film, they had a Smilodon as one of the character, along with Mammoth.
That's enough about Diego's life cycle. There's nothing much to mention, anyway, except those awfully long explanation about how Diego's species went extinct.
