The San Lucas sabertooth cats use primitive tools. They fashion stone knives and wood tools, much like Earth’s monkeys. They build homes and change the terrain for their convenience, much like beavers or muskrats. They move from place to place to allow their hunting regions to recover and repopulate. Many of our best scientists have spent decades studying them, writing papers on the minutia of the sabertooth’s day. Based on their studies, that is hunting, sex, building, sex, eating, sex, sleeping, and sex. Not necessarily in that order. Every family unit has many kittens running around underfoot, as well as numerous young adults on the verge of branching out to start their own families. Which they end up doing whether they want to or not after reaching adulthood and the family drives the stragglers out.
