      I knew about the relict popularion of mammoths that was still around. Wasn’t aware of the tigers. Can you please tell me more?

        I can’t 100% give you facts. I just go off of the rough estimate of fossil records for both mammoth and sabertooth tigers roughly and this is just a random thing I like to tell people when I was younger to kind of blow their mind.
