The Papo toy Smilodon is in a hunting pose and looks effective in stalking its prey. Great looking saber teeth.
The Papo Smilodon measures: 6.25" L x 2.4" H.
Papo did a fine job on this Smilodon toy figure. While it is not the tallest of the Smilodon toy figures currently available, it is one of the longest and thus looks like one of the largest. This Papo toy Smilodon has good muscle tone and looks good in its "hunting pose", however, the hair is relatively smooth - we would like to see more definition of the hair. Also, the paint job is fairly bland/basic - not a lot of variety on paint job. Overall a nice Smildon figure.

The name Smilodon is derived from "two edged knife" and "tooth". The Smilodon "big" teeth were around 11 inches long. The Smilodon lived approximately 2.5 million to 10,000 years ago and ranged throughout North and South America. Depending on the species, the Smilodon ranged from 120 - 950 lbs. The Smilodon primarily hunted large mammals (like buffalo). Their large teeth were fragile however and could not bite into bone without the risk of breaking.
The Smilodon is also known as the "saber tooth tiger" and is one of the most recognizable and well-known prehistoric animals. Ironically, the "Sabertooth" isn't really related to the tiger, but rather is related to the cat family (Felinae). Thus to call the Smilodon a "Sabertooth Tiger" is to miss-name the Smilodon.
The Papo toy Smilodon is part of the Prehistoric Life Series by Papo.
The Papo Smilodon is hand painted and made of durable synthetic material.
