Sabre-toothed cat
Sabre-toothed cat. Computer artwork of a sabre- toothed cat or tiger (subfamily Machairodontinae) in an icy landscape. This extinct carnivore belongs to a different subfamily to modern tigers and lions. The sabre-toothed cat was found in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America, and lived from the Oligocene epoch (38 million years ago) until the end of the Pleistocene epoch (10, 000 years ago). It could open its jaw very wide, and is thought to have used its huge upper canine teeth to stab and slash its prey. These blade-like teeth reached 20 centimetres in length

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring beauty of a sabre-toothed cat, depicted through intricate computer artwork. Set against an icy landscape, this extinct carnivore from the subfamily Machairodontinae roamed various continents including Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America. Existing from the Oligocene epoch until the end of the Pleistocene epoch, approximately 38 million to 10,000 years ago respectively, this magnificent predator possessed distinct characteristics that set it apart from modern tigers and lions. With its ability to open its jaw remarkably wide, the sabre-toothed cat utilized its massive upper canine teeth as lethal weapons to stab and slash its prey. These extraordinary blade-like teeth reached an astonishing length of 20 centimeters. As a result of their unique evolutionary adaptation for hunting success in ancient ecosystems, these apex predators left an indelible mark on paleontology. Through this stunning illustration created by Science Photo Library's talented artists, we are transported back in time to witness the power and majesty of one of nature's most formidable creatures. This image serves as a reminder of our planet's rich history and diverse array of species that have come before us. It is a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic interpretation merging together seamlessly to bring prehistoric wonders back to life.
