Warming during the Pleistocene epoch likely impacted the saber-toothed tiger by altering its habitat and prey availability. As temperatures rose, their preferred cold and open environments diminished, leading to changes in vegetation and the migration of herbivore populations. This shift could have reduced food sources for saber-toothed tigers, contributing to their eventual decline and extinction. Additionally, increased competition with other predators may have further exacerbated their struggles in a warming climate.
