On a landscape that would one day become a suburb of San Antonio, palaeontologists paint a picture that is as bloody as it is fascinating. Mammoths were stalked by predatory cats with scimitar teeth protruding from their jaws. The cats would snatch a juvenile mammoth, blood staining the fur around their mouths and claws as it soaked into the grasses around them. Having eaten their fill, they would take the carcass back to their den. This was a meal that could be shared again later.
