Crazy that saber toothed cats existed at the same time as coyotes. Were those coyotes visually different than the ones trying to eat my cats today?

What about consuming a animal contaminated with fossil fuel ? A saber tooth cat eating a pray covered in oil would cause cancer, tumors and deformities right?

that's why they risked the tar pit, they were starving, they were smart enough to know the danger

As a trapper a cat is actually the easiest animal to catch. Cats are extremely curious. I say they found a easy food source and multiple generations posted up near the area causing over hundreds of years of what you’re seeing

My first thought was exactly what you said at the end. Easiest explanation is hobbled predators are incentivized to take whatever comes. Love how scientific thinking converges lol

We know cats and dogs get arthritis and that can fuse and deform bones. Also causes mobility to be slower and movement stiffer. A consideration alongside the inbreeding?

so, disabled animals used the tar pits as a food source as they couldnt hunt normally.

Been to the tar pits a few times (in 1960s and 70s before skull exhibit) and I cannot fathom the 🤯🤯🤯 NUMBER OF ANIMALS trapped UNDER THAT SURFACE.
