Really wanted to draw this from another angle. i did this one in minutes, trying the patience of my 4 year old. She must think Mom is a kook. The smilodon, saber tooth cat, was much smaller than the American lion. I read somewhere that some scientists think they never closed their mouths, that the mouth hung open...

Anyway, next Sat. I plan to switch gears and visit the Natural History Museum and check out the eohippus!
