Liger vs. Saber-Toothed Tiger

Ligers have been living in earth for a last few centuries. This article compares ligers attributes and characteristics with that of the Saber-toothed Tigers. Saber toothed tiger was also an enormous beast among the family of big cats. However, very sadly this big cat has also become extinct over 10,000 years ago. This is a huge amount of time. Perhaps we can say that last of the Saber-toothed tigers have existed about 10 milleniums ago on earth (A single Mellenium is exactly equal to 1000 years). Saber toothed tiger used to have very very long canine teeth. Historically, their canines are regarded as the most longest than any other big cats that have ever existed on earth. These canines were spread out of the mouth of that big cat.The modern days' Warluses tusk can resemble much similar to the canines of saber-toothed Tigers. However, Saber-toothed tigers would have used them maximum to their hunting and prey-capturing perspective.

Saber toothed tiger is believed to be around 550 kg as well. It means the cat was usually around 1100 pounds. This makes saber toothed-tigers' size much bigger than modern days' big cats like lions. A modern day African lion weighs around 500 to 550 pounds. On the other hand a modern day Siberian Tiger weighs around 600 pounds. These figures make saber-toothed tigers as much bigger than lions and tigers. But the question still remains whether these big tigers are bigger or equivalent to modern days' ligers.

Liger on the other hand also weight around 1100 to 1600 pound in maximum. This makes liger either at least equal or bigger than the saber-toothed tigers as well. Hercules the liger weighs about 900 pounds. But Ligers are fully capable of growing up to 1200 pounds. The data shows that either the liger was at least equal or even bigger in the size of the saber toothed tiger. 1100 pounds is the maximum predicted weight of that cat. With ligers normally reaching this weight and even having a record of 1600 pounds of liger remains the biggest cat in the world even from the historical perspectives as well.

Liger vs. Saber-Toothed Tiger: A weight comparison 

Saber-toothed tigers used to live in American continents. That means they used to spread from North America to South America. No evidence of the Saber-toothed tigers have been recorded among other continents. Since America is discovered by Columbus a few hundred years ago, therefore, this can be the core reason for the obscurity of this tiger from the rest of the world. That can also be the fundamental reason why Saber-toothed tigers have less historical literature as compared to lions and tigers.
