Hi. Polar bears are the biggest bears in the world. When they are on their hind legs they stand at 12 feet.
They are considerd marine animals. Scientists can also get DNA from their foot prints. They can hold their breath for two minutes Their bite force is 1,200 psi, as a result their bite is well adapted to dealing with prey with thick skin such as seals and walruses. The polar bear is the largest meat eater alive today. Their claws size is 30 cm.
Their their scientific name is Ursus Maritimus.

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.
