I love Saber-toothed Cats

Description

_{Saber-toothed Cat / Sabre-toothed Cat / commonly Saber-tooth Tiger (incorrect)
_{including all extinct subfamilies of Machairodontinae, Barbourofelidae and Nimravidae with saber-like maxillary canine teeth, like the most popular Smilodon.}

Why is the name Saber-tooth "Tiger" incorrect? Because the animals it refers to were NOT tigers: tigers belong to subfamily Pantherinae, whereas Saber-toothed Cats were several genera of Machairodontinae, Barbourofelidae and Nimravidae, whose evolution had no relation to the modern tiger.

Also, even if some saber-tooth cats like the Smilodon shared some physical traits and hunting patterns with tigers, they may have been social animals, more like today's lions than tigers and all other wild cats, which are solitary hunters and don't live in groups.
