Sabre-toothed cats were long-distance hunters

[Still Waters]

Sabre-toothed cats had a specific strategy when hunting, they operated in packs, during the day and ran for so long their prey became exhausted. 

This was made possible by genetic traits which were actively selected for and enhanced its endurance and social skills, new research has found.  

The apex predators are, along with woolly mammoths, one of the most famous extinct animals to live during the last Ice Age.  

They weighed up to a ton and grew to more than ten feet long – equivalent to a male polar bear, the biggest living land predator.
