lostbeasts:

Jaws of a biting cat compared to a sabretooth cat. Sabretooth cat skulls were designed for a swift downward strike of the sabre-teeth, not a strong bite. The coronoid process was also greatly reduces, meaning the jaws were weakly bound to the skull and couldn’t withstand much bending or twisting.
