Take me to the Plains - I want to see bison.
From Wikipedia: Overall, Smilodon was more robustly built than any extant cat, with particularly well-developed forelimbs and exceptionally long upper canine teeth. Its jaw had a bigger gape than that of modern cats, and its upper canines were slender and fragile, being adapted for precision killing. North American saber-tooths sizes ranged from 120 to 620 lbs. with a height of 39 inches. South American cats were larger ranging from 485 to 960 lbs and 47 inches in height.
In North America, Smilodon hunted large herbivores such as bison and camels. It is thought to have killed its prey by holding it still with its forelimbs and biting it, but it is unclear in what manner the bite itself was delivered.
Smilodon died out about 10,000 years ago. Its reliance on large animals has been proposed as the cause of its extinction, along with climate change and competition with other species, but the exact cause is unknow.
