Of course, unfortunately, many of North America’s power animals are such obtuse and brief mutations anyway…
The handicapped seal, the flagrant orange billed duck,
The beaver…
Nothing like the pre-deluvial Smilodon..
“The name Smilodon comes from Greek: σμίλη, (smilē), “carving knife” + ὀδoύς (odoús), “tooth” (whose stem is odont-, as seen in the genitive case form ὀδόντος, odóntos).”
