The Sabertooth Tiger
The Sabertooth Tiger was the top predator during the ice age, 2.4 milion years ago.
They where named for their knife like fangs and could stalk its prey which made them great hunters.
Sabertooth Tigers where very slow they could run 25-30 mph while a lion can run 50 mph and a tiger can run 30-40 mph.The reason they where slow is because they where larger and heavier.See in the below diagram:
They could grow to 70-120 cm heigh.
Sabertooth tigers have been preserved in blocks of ice. Scientist are trying to bring the Sabertooth tigers back to life.
Also there bite force was 1,050 psi most of their fosils have been found in tar pits and they had a life span of about 40 years old.
Their scientfic name is Smilodon.

Tigers are the biggest cats in the world.
Most tigers have orange fur and black stripes, however they can also have black, golden and white coats.
The rarest Tiger subspecies, is the Sumatran Tiger.
Most cats avoid water, however tigers love swimming because the areas they live in are very hot.

It is different from albino because they are not fully white.Lioness are more attratced to the males with darker manes. They can live about 35 years. Also some lions have black manes. Lions have the loudest roar of any cat and their roar is 144 decibels.
The biggest lion subspecies is the Barbary lion. They were the lions used in ancient Roman arenas. Because of this they can not live in the wild and there are only 100 left in the world.

Hi, this time i am doing my blog on wind power. Unlike fossil fuels, wind power is a renewable energy source.
This means it's infinite compared to coal, oil, and natural gas.
These are called dirty because fossil fuels produce carbon dioxide when burned. This contributes to global warming and the well being of our planet. It's shocking that 80% of the world's energy is still provided by fossil fuels. Some countries are defending fossil fuel use for money and job protection. (Australia!).
Wind power is generated on wind farms. It is clean and green, sustainable, it costs less and creates jobs. The disadvantages of wind power are the need for lots of open space, loud noise, possible injury to birds (and bats). Also some people don't like the look of them.

minecraft
Hi, I am doing this blog post on why the develepors of Minecraft have not added certain mobs and removed others.
Originally, the plan was for a Red Dragon instead of the Ender Dragon when Minecraft was being developed.
One of the most popular you-tubers Dream out-right rigged the mob vote for Glow Squid to win over Iceoliger and Mobloom.
Minecraft said that they will not add sharks because it might boost shark hunting. But in my opinion Minecraft is being quite hypocritical considering when you punch an animal in the game it runs away from you scared for its life.
The Ender Dragon boss was added after the Giant was removed for being too over powering. However the Giant can stil be summoned in the Java edition using the command (/summon) and it looks like a giant zombie.
The Human Mob was removed for being too annoying.
The Diamond Chicken laid diamonds and was removed for making Minecraft too easy.
