From Richard Swifte, Darmstadt, Germany
Your article on sabre teeth reminds me of a visit I made to a fossil site in South Africa. Using a hominid skull and two curved fingers, a researcher graphically illustrated how a sabre-toothed tiger could leap on an unfortunate hominid from behind and grab its skull, with its two fangs nicely inserting into the eye sockets and through to the brain for an instant kill (18 January, p 19).
