Description A Homotherium serum finds an abandoned cub in a grassland. It has a strange scent to it, a unique pattern, and unusually long teeth for its age. As her maternal instincts are currently strong due to the litter she recently gave birth to, she decides to take the cub into her fold. A Camelops watches from a distance.

Homotherium latidens was a cursorial saber-toothed felid that lived in the mammoth steppe of North America until about 12,000 years ago. It may have specialized upon baby mammoths, although was probably not completely restricted to them.

Smilodon fatalis was a heavily built ambush predator that lived in forests of southern North America and western South America. It hunted large mammals such as deer and tapir. Although it would’ve preferred forests, most megafauna will occasionally venture outside of their normal habitat, so this scene is plausible.

P.S. yes I am aware that this is very similar to an art piece posted by Olmagon on DeviantArt, but I came up with the idea independently of him, and he gave me permission to draw this anyway.
