    There were at least 6 different types, ranging from long and thin like leopards to the large chunky short bodied ones like the Smilodon. He was 6' long and had a short tail about 2 feet long. There's a skeleton of one at our museum.

    They're definately NOT the body shape or size that they showed in the movie 10,000 BC! They based that on a tiger, which is totally bogus.
