He was the fiercest creature on the hills.
When he came out of his cave the forest was still.
Scarcely an animal dared stir.
Even the rhinoceros and mammoth feared to attack him.
He was as sly as a cat and as powerful as a rhinoceros.
He had two sabre teeth that were sharp and strong.
No such animal as Sabre-tooth lives now.
There were only a few animals like him then, but they were more feared than any other creature.
He was something like a lion and something like a tiger, but he was more powerful than either.
He did not like to live in the cold, so each winter he went to the south.
