In the New world a surviving (short-tailed) Smilodon is by far the more likely candidate, although Heuvelmans said otherwise, but in Africa there seem to be several reports which describe it with a long tail. That would be very unusual, unless the witnesses were mistaken on that point.<br /><br />Best Wishes, Dale D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
