Skull of saber-toothed cat found almost complete When we first discovered the saber-toothed cat, this animal remained a mystery. But this new discovery will reveal many secrets about this mystery animal. In May 2015, the third skull of the saber- toothed cat was found. This famous skull was found in Schöningen. He is characterized as a Long claws, razor-sharp, curved canine teeth fully grown lion. This skull reflects the shape and structure of the Homotherium brain. And therefore, we can gain insights into the visual and hearing abilities as well as the feeding habits of the large cats. We assume that this big cat first appeared 500,000 years ago and they were instinct around 200,000 years later. Since it is possible to discover some of the many abilities of the saber-toothed cat, is it possible that we use his DNA (from the skull) to bring this animal back to life? Is it going to be dangerous? Is it going to be helpful? These type of question never end here because this cat remains a mystery. Salma Talaat
