What is Saber-tooth Cat?
The Saber-tooth Cat is an ambush predator that the official page places in woodland and shrub more than the Dire Wolf. In game it has less stamina than a wolf. Horses and bison in flee mode win a long chase. The secondary attack is a pounce. Landing it on the front-left of a horse or bison starts a ring minigame. Score higher than the prey and a takedown kills it. The animal page says it is the only playable that can climb trees. It gets less food from small AI than a Dire Wolf.
