Excerpt from a torn page of the Encyclopedia Galactica:

"The prehistoric Smilodon Populator (LUND, A.D. 1842), also known as the biggest of the true sabre-toothed cats, still has a legedary reputation across the whole galaxy. Having already been extinct when humanity had cemented its global-player position in the foodchain of Old Earth, some scientists apparently thought it was a good idea to revive this hominid's Nemesis through advanced cloning techniques.

It is still relatively unclear what specific function the enormous canine teeth fulfill, as their comparably frail static forbids regular and successful use as a weapon; The proportions and angles of the jaw and teeth's points suggest though, that Smilodon hunted very large, herbivorous animals with slashing bites after subduing its prey, possibly still puncturing the jugular vein and/or carotid artery like recent big cats do during their death-bite to the throat.
Adaptions of the bone-structure in the legs further hint on S. Populator having excellent jumping- and wrestling capabilities. As unified ethologists take note, the stories from survivors or even just witnesses of attacks for actual verification of this behavior are regretfully rare."

...apparently there was another paragraph, but dark, sticky blots on the weathered paper make it impossible to read...


C-LOG: removed some custom abstracts, which apparently got rid of the doubled needs- social- and health-tabs.
C-LOG2: removed some duplicated hidden files. Should be fine now, please let me know if there are still issues!

@Rabbit thanks so much, appreciate to hear that (even tho the style of the texture is so wholly different than other RW textures!^^)
I will try to update this week or on the weekend. ...The weather is bad enough I do not have the big excuse of "garden calls!" ;)

@jpinard: as far as I know it isn't, only my dire- and spirit wolves are in the Animal Collab Project.
