The Saber-Tooth vs. The Mammoth

Which Pre-Historic creature do you pick?

The first human beings existed approximately two million years ago. Now, this may seem like a very long time ago, however, it’s nothing compared to many of the pre-historic creatures that once roamed the Earth. After the dinosaurs and before humans took over, there were two types of mammals that populated our planet—Saber-Tooth predators and Mammoths.

These creatures are long gone, however, based on their skeletons paleontologists have a good idea about how they lived. Then there’s also the fictional film series “Ice Age,” which may not be scientifically accurate but still very entertaining nonetheless.

Take a look at some of our favorite Saber-Tooth and Mammoth tattoos from talented artists in the gallery below. Then let us know your favorite tattoo from this list in the comments section on social media.
