Ιδού και μια αναφορά από το Νάνο Βαλαωρίτη:
............
Δεινοσαυράκια παίζοντας στο δειλινό ενός δάσους
’νθρωποι πρωτόγονοι που τα παραφυλάνε
Με πέτρες βέλη ρόπαλα και λίθινα εργαλεία
Ελέφαντες προϊστορικοί και τίγρεις με ***σπαθόδοντες***

Και πτεροδάχτυλα πουλιά και σαύρες ορνιθόρυγχες
Βουβάλια βόσκουν κι άλογα στα πράσινα λειβάδια
..............

Notes to answerer

Asker: Ξέρω πως είναι ο σμιλόδοντας, αλλά το saber-toothed cat δίνεται ως επεξήγηση του σμιλόδοντα στο κείμενο, και πρέπει να μεταφραστεί.
