City Anomalies: Smilodon

Witnesses corroborating a sighting in downtown L.A.

Mark Ludding, Senior Finance Analyst: "Oh crud! I can't believe what I just saw. I was sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic, minding my own business, when out of nowhere, this massive cat-like creature appeared on the road! It had shorter teeth than those saber-toothed tigers you see in the movies, but it was just as terrifying."

Karen Gilroy, Payroll Accountant: "Holy crap, did you see that? I was just sitting in my Civic, trying to make sense of this traffic jam, when this lion-looking creature comes strolling down the street like it owns the place! It looked into my glass window!"

Matt Belcher, Surfing Instructor - "Dude, I couldn't believe my eyes, man. It was like something straight out of a Jurassic Park movie. I mean, sure, I was kinda freaked out at first, but then I realized how totally rad it was. I mean, how often do you get to see a real-life dinosaur (no, wait) cat roaming the streets?! Gnarly!"
