A '''smilodon''', also known as a '''saber-toothed cat''' or '''saber-toothed tiger''', is an extinct genus of [[feline]]s whose most notable feature is their exceptionally long upper canines. They are believed to have been native to the Americas until as recently as the end of the last ice age, or about 10,000 years ago. There were multiple species of smilodons, the largest of which were as large or larger than [[tiger]]s.

==In furry fandom==
Smilodons are sometimes seen in furry fandom as fursonas, characters in stories and roleplaying environments, and fursuits.

==Smilodon characters==
* The character Diego, from the [[Ice Age]] films, is a smilodon.
* Zabu from the Marvel comic books, is a saber-toothed tiger.

'''Beast''' (aka '''Dr. Henry "Hank" P. McCoy''') is a fictional character created by [[Wikipedia:Marvel Comics|Marvel Comics]] and is a member of the [[Wikipedia:X-Men|X-Men]], [[Wikipedia:Defenders (comics)|Defenders]] and the [[Wikipedia:Avengers (comics)|Avengers]]. He has been portrayed as an [[anthropomorphic]] [[monkey|ape]]-like creature and also recently as an anthropomorphic [[lion]]. His mutant ability has matched these forms. In his original form, he had ape-like agility and heightened senses. When he became a lion, his powers shifted to focus more on the strength and senses of a lion. Because of his bestial nature, Beast always struggles to control his [[feral]] urges from taking over. Beast has appeared in various places including comic books published by Marvel Comics, cartoons and movies.
