Sabertooth

This could be regarded as a follow-up to Big Cats and Their Fossil Relatives, which Antón co-wrote with the late Alan Turner. In many respects, the approach is similar, although updated with the very latest information. Here, however, the topic is not restricted to cats, sabretooth or otherwise.

Instead, all sabretooths are fair game: there is coverage here of the barbourofelids and nimravids, of the sabretoothed marsupials, and even the reptile-like gorgonopsians. All of the information is detailed and a fascinating read, from one of the top researchers in the field.

On top of that, lots of the gorgeous artwork for which Antón is so well known, much of it in full colour. One can really see sabretooths as living, breathing animals, as majestic as any living cat.
