Apart from their fearsome-looking upper fangs, the shape of the rest of the dentition of sabertooths shows that they fed almost exclusively on meat. They were “hypercarnivores,” meaning that their dentitions were so specialized for cutting meat that they had lost most of their ability to deal with other food items, such as bone or vegetable matter.
