The sabre-toothed tiger - Sabre-toothed Tiger

A tie-in book for children to accompany Extinct, a dramatic new series from Wall to Wall, the producers of 1940s House.

Fact: 99.9 percent of all species that have ever existed on earth are now extinct.

In Extinct, six of them are brought stunningly back to life using the very latest 3D computer graphics technology combined with years of scientific knowledge.

With programmes devoted to the dodo, sabre-toothed tiger, great auk, Tasmanian tiger, Irish elk, and woolly mammoth, viewers can watch the story of these amazing animals from birth.

In Extinct: The Sabre-Toothed Tiger, young readers can follow the life-cycle of the Smilodon, a sabre-toothed tiger and the sleekest predator of all.

With its seven-inch long, razor-sharp canine teeth, Smilodon was a majestic, highly successful hunter...so why did it become extinct?
