English: Longirostromeryx - fossil saber-toothed deer skull (female; replica). (public display, Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park, northeastern Nebraska, USA)
Exhibit info.:
These extinct animals, whose scientific name (Longirostromeryx) refers to their long, slender snouts, are related to the modern musk deer of eastern Asia. The males have elongated upper canine teeth. During the rutting season, males use the sabers to battle with each other. The females have small canine teeth. . . . Saber-toothed deer became extinct in North America approximately 10 million years ago, possibly because of climatic cooling and drying.
