How did the saber-toothed tiger defend itself?

The saber-toothed cat defended itself primarily with its claws. It can easily reach out and slash an antagonist. It should be noted that in spite of having the elongated teeth for which it is famous, these teeth can be broken, and the big cat had to take a bit of care when using them, even in its own defense.

If you have ever watched footage of a modern big cat attacking something or defending itself, the beast leads with its claws in either case where the chips are down. And so did Smilodon and its cousins Note that the cat might run from a given antagonist, or it might climb if it is able to do so. It also growled, roared, hissed and spat to intimidate enemies, just like the big cats of today.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
