Saber-toothed Hyena

The saber-toothed hyena, Smilocrocuta spp., is a large, vicious, saber-toothed, lion-sized Smilodon-like of the spotted hyena that is a massive predator of African tropical grasslands. Saber-toothed hyenas are the analogue for long-extinct saber-toothed cats across Africa. Like lions, females do all the hunting whilst males usually sleep most of the time. Gestation period lasts for 12 weeks and produces around three to four cubs.
