Due to the disappearance of large prey animals, it was probably robbed of its livelihood and also died out. For millions of years, modern big cats Panthera and saber-toothed cats have lived side by side without seriously affecting each other. According to a theory that came to be known as the overkill hypothesis, the disappearance of large mammals at the end of the Pleistocene was largely due to human influences.
