Aaaactually.... I visited our local big cat sanctuary a couple of years ago and they have a tiger there who is part of a genetic research program to study a possible link between tigers and the Smilodon! He has extremely long canines which appears to be a hereditary trait, which they believe may make him a living descendant of the Saber-Tooth. So far, they have found the same genetic marker in almost a dozen of his offspring as well, and a few other tigers too. It's a fascinating theory if true, because apparently tigers really ARE genetically the closest living relative!
