A curious finding regarding saber tooth tigers... At the Page Museum (Los Angeles La Brea Tar Pits) they found columns of trapped skeletons where predators far out-numbered prey. The speculate that one mired animal would attract a predator which would also become stuck. Still other predators would hear the commotion and also get trapped. Hunger is a fierce motivator... Along with the saber-tooth tigers were dire wolves. I was also impressed by a bear skeleton the size of a Volkswagen.

I always wondered how the giant sloths ended up in the tar pits...
