Synopsis: Covers the size, diet, survival tactics and more about the Sabertooh cats, Smilodon.
Viewed on: Youtube
I believe National Geographic were the ones that put out this series called Prehistoric Predators. It covers the life of the big prehistoric predators in fun interesting detail. I won't get into the series or any series as a whole as I like to believe every episode should stand on its own but altogether it is a above average series.
So the first episode of the series I will watch will be on Smilodon. Arguably the Ice Age's fiercest and most famous predator, Smilodon, aka, the Sabertooth cat was a ferocious creature with daggers for fangs on the jaws for suffocating and slicing into its prey's jugular. Besides the killing attributes of the beast, the doc explores other aspects like social life and fossilization of the animal. Though in certain points of the program there is a lot of information being thrown around and it can be daunting to absorb it all.
The entertainment part was okay at best. The animations of the animals were mediocre and rough. Also footage gets recycled from time to time.
With all that said, the information can also be delivered dry but the information is interesting and we get to see some science performed like how experiments with bite force anatomy is performed.
My score: Meh...sozoic
