Saber toothed tigers should be called walrus cats.

Walcat, if you will.

Can we also call spiders “saber-toothed ants”? Oh, and then there’s also “saber-toothed worms”.

I’m sure none of this will trigger anyone.

Technically they're closer to sea lions than seals... So really, sea lions should have been called sea tigers, than walrus would be saber-toothed sea tigers...

Can we get a evolutionary scientist in here?

I understand sabre-teeth have come up a few times in the record. Are walrus sabre-toothed for real?

Don't worry, I did my own research.

Salmon used to have sabreteeth! Some of them, anyway. They were big fucking fish.

"I am the saber-toothed seal" doesn't have quite the same ring to it, though...

Their own fault for using a misnomer.

They don’t look that much like seals.

They should be called “saber-toothed wilford-brimleys”.

Sabertoothed obese seals.

I think you might be onto something.

I can't remember ever laughing out loud at a title alone.
