(Phys.org) —Independent researcher and pathologist Jeffrey G. Brown has self-published a paper on the open access site PLoS ONE, detailing what he believes is the correct interpretation of how the now extinct saber-toothed cat brought down its prey. He suggests prevailing views on the process wouldn't work and proposes a new idea that is based on the same mechanism as an ordinary manual can opener.
