| Smilodon (saber-toothed cat) skeleton shown is from the La Brea Tar Pits, Los Angeles, California. It is in the Ice Age Hall at the Smithsonian, adjacent to the Cumberland Bone Cave exhibit in the same hall, so that might explain the mistake. Several unpublished bones of Smilodon from Cumberland Bone Cave are in the Smithsonian collections but not on display.
The Cumberland Bone Cave exhibit has mounted skeletons of an extinct bear and wolverine, lower jaws of extinct white footed mouse, squirrel and muskrat, and a skull and lower jaw of brown bat (a modern species, although the specimen is fossil). Not far away is a skeleton of the peccary Platygonus from Pennsylvania; the same peccary is common in Cumberland Bone Cave. References: Gidley, J.W. and C.L. Gazin (1938) The Pleistocene vertebrate fauna from Cumberland Cave Maryland. Smithsonian Institution, United States National Museum Bulletin 171. (Only detailed summary of the fauna. Some material has been reidentified, and additions made to the fauna from both restudy and new collections, but the papers are scattered). David J.
