This is especially weird for me since I still don't understand what advantage they provide. It doesn't look like you can really use them for biting, can you? So do you just use them like a grappling hook fixed to your face? I've never seen a convincing answer.
- fbarred 4y agoWikipedia has a few convincing hypothesis. One is that sabre teeth are important for biting deep and reaching vital organs on large prey. After the megafauna went extinct, so did saber-toothed animals, and this adaptation was no longer needed.
