Abstract Synopsis
- The study compares the skull biomechanics of Barbourofelis fricki and Smilodon fatalis using finite element analysis to explore differences in their hunting strategies, revealing that B. fricki had a robust skull suited for various prey-killing scenarios, while S. fatalis's skull was less optimized for stress support.
- The findings suggest that morphological features of sabertooths do not necessarily reflect their ecological roles or hunting behaviors, indicating that some species may have been more generalist predators rather than specialized killers.
- This research challenges the common assumption that all sabertoothed cats used a universal killing bite involving canines and shearing, highlighting the need for further studies across different sabertoothed species to better understand their diverse hunting adaptations.]
