Question

Many animals that once inhabited Earth are now extinct. One such animal is the saber-toothed cat. In addition to being extinct, it is also believed that there are no real descendants of the saber-toothed cat are alive today. Saber-toothed cats were large, ferocious cats that were likely strictly carnivorous, based on the diets of big cats alive today. Most big cats are apex predators, lacking any predators themselves.



What is the MOST LIKELY conclusion based on this information?
