Reasonable men found saber-toothed tigers. Shock Science world went through next shock as says “Holland Horizon” magazine. A small bone that a fisher man from Urk, Northern Holland found in his fishing net appeared to be a fragment of a jaw. And this jaw belonged to one of the oldest predators – saber-toothed tiger.

Together with its savage contemporary cave bear it dominated practically on all continents. It spread terror between mastodons, hairy rhinoceroses and other large world inhabitants, which meat it liked very much. We can suppose that it also was not of a small size. Armed with tooth similar to curve sword it could rip open thick skin of its victims easily. By the way Greek name of saber-toothed tiger (mahairod) is translated as “short curve sword”. As paleontologists thought it was not less than 300-400 thousand years ago.

But here at once two great riddles. Under available information saber-toothed tiger had never wondered in grassy plain which is now North Sea bottom. But as was found out had wandered… And the second news; with the help of researches it was established found jaw is… only 28 thousand years old.

At first paleontologists were in doubts if they really have greetings from saber-toothed. The matter is that fisher men who earn their living in Holland waters made their hobby at about hundred years ago to comb local shallow sea bottom. And it is necessary to say they filled up science collections with valuable exhibits and also taught scientists to respect their useful hobby. This time the find was especially important and because of that researches were done exclusively carefully. The last conclusion is that found jaw fragment is of the same material as other saber-toothed tiger’s sings which have already known to science.

Of course the gap in time (300 thousand and 28 thousand years) made scientists to reconsider their conceptions about the age of saber-toothed tiger. Nowadays saber-toothed tiger officially adjoined to inhabitants of our planet which left it only 12 thousand years ago. It means that for example adjoined to mammoths which died out rather recently (only after Ice Age ended). It is thought it might be seen by reasonable men.

Probably this opened interest to one of the oldest animals will help us at last to imagine its look more clearly which is not possible to reconstruct till now. It is considered to be true only that saber-toothed tiger is a very remote ancestor of our domestic kitties. And it is all paleontologists can say, because too little signs left this ancestor on our wicked world. And it’s not surprising as many ancient animals didn’t leave any material proofs of their living. We have only hypothesis.
