What exactly were saber-tooth cats, and how did they earn their fearsome reputation? Explore the fascinating biology and behavior of these extinct predators—from their enormous canine teeth and powerful jaws to their hunting strategies and social structures.
Where did they live? What did they eat? And how do scientists piece together their story from fossils? Join us for an in-depth look at one of the most iconic animals of the Ice Age, and discover what makes them such a compelling subject of paleontological research.
Presented by Blaire Van Valkenburgh, an American paleontologist in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at University of California Los Angeles. Thursday, Aug. 14 at 6pm @ the Orcas Island Public Library.
