Wick's Review

    Cmon, what boy hasn’t hankered after the sabertoothed tiger? This brief NatGeo documentary scratches that itch.

    It turns out that hundreds of these top predators got inadvertently preserved in Los Angeles’ La Brea tar pits, yielding skeletons that provide insight into their unique hunting style. The biggest of big cats, they used their huge saber teeth in surprising fashion.

    Kids of all ages – especially those fascinated by top predators in general and big cats in particular – will find this ¾ hour program intriguing viewing, even though it douses the resonant name “sabertoothed tiger” with the buzzkill of research.

    The video recreations of the sabertooth reanimate this legendary big cat.

    It turns out the Smilodon – the biggest, baddest sabertooth – weren’t tigers. They were more like a cross between a lion and a bear, with huge natural knives extending from their upper jaws.

    Hence their proper name of sabertooth cat. Even if their common name isn’t as cool as pop culture would have it, their biological name is ironically cool. Smilodon. Now there’s a savagely attractive name for an all-time top predator like the big sabertooth.
