there's actually a person inside of that thing, it's called a quadsuit. the only animatronic in that entire show is the big cat blinking. the mouth is controlled by elastic in the user's mouth area. The digitigrade is all plastic and foam, and the person is hunched, with only, elbows, and knees down, sticking out of the quadsuit.
I actually make really cheap suits, about 300 per suit. I'm working on a full, digitigrade, dutch angel dragon right now. her name is Bella. I wish I could hand out free suits to people like you, but unfortunately, if I did, i would be homeless and broke.
You'd be surprised, there are a number of home-made quadsuits that feature blinking, ear twitching and even snarling actions using tricks of puppeteering; however this Smilon has actually a combination of both. The human inside controls the lower jaw movement and the body in general, and a person controlling the animatronics controls blinking and the upper head movement.
I wish I could go see this show, this is beautiful. I love Smilodons their my favorite animal out of the Pleistocene. I wish this amazing cat was still alive.
Watashiwa Noodle i love this animal but if its still alive thet probably could hunt us especialy if ur house is by the jungle in california or something
@@bat7320 Smilodon are a species that humans caused their extinction. By over hunting their their main food source. Unlike T-Rex which was selected by nature like Ian Malcolm Said.
Actually paleontologists believe baby sabertooths didn't have long fangs. At birth they were as long as those of a typical Felidae and continued growing through life.
Extremely late, but I’m pretty sure it was meant to be a humorous comment as the cub puppet slid directly in front of the kids in the audience and opened its jaw afterwards as if it was showing off.
I was instructed to watch this via Shiverz and Im VERY impressed at the amount of awesome from those puppeteers! The adult Smilodon, my jaw dropped! Im now hoping with that they'll bring back some amazing werewolf animatronic/puppetry in movies because of this! I wont hold my breath though..
the most impressive part to me is the cub puppeteer. he does such an amazing job. it's so easy to focus your eye on the cub and forget that its not real.
That puppeteer is AMAZING :D i forgot he was even behind him for a minute! the kids were very annoying though :P This was a very good video and i really wanna see this show :)
The person in the quad suit (In other words the large smilodon). I dont think there used to fursuiting xD Then again the costume looks rather awkward to move about in. The legs look alittle weird but altogether its a brillient suit!! Love the way the suit interacts with the puppet :)
A bicycle brake cable operated by the performer's thumbs or a radio controlled animatronic device in the head synched up to the soundtrack. There's a few ways to pull that effect off.
I have a question, is there a difference between sabertoothed tigers and smilodons? Or is it just like pumas, also being called cougars and mountain lions?
Hahaha I would love to have it too. But what is great though is that there are artists who build costumes like this! often called "quad suites". I highly recommend the builder "Beastcub". She has a channel here on youtube where you can see her great work. ... and after a few years and more experience I would also recommend my own services in building awesome puppets and costumes for theater / educational performances. ^_^
@scarredsyxx yeah it's really impressive for a museum budget! I am working o a review of King Kong 360 3D where i will talk about practical effects vs. CGI.
@ShiverZ66 It was stored in the Discovery Center... So hopefully i could abscond with it while all the kiddies are distracted by the T. rex skeleton puzzle.
I only came here for the quadsuit.

I couldn't say that better =3

+Lilly Green ur awesome like me cuz I furry but I don't have a suit yet 😿

22:31
WARRIORSSSSS
That Smilodon made me Grinodon. : D
killersushi99 nice one 😂
I’d pay GOOD money to go to a show like this without children
He's really good with the baby sabertooth puppet. I'm fascinated just watching him move it. It's really easy to forget that its a puppet.
THAT QUADSUIT IS LEGIT
+Spectrum chum ikr
this is too kiddy for me but I only clicked this to see the quadsuit it truly is very amazing
Me too.
Luka Hazeous lol same
SAME
Lol me too

Nice puppetry on the baby sabertooth tiger !!!! Omg!
So cute !!!!!!!!
Aww one of the kids was crying. But really if i was little and thought it was real i would be scared of the mama cat o_o
puppet comes on stage "show off" when the cat falls over "do the centipede"
+Rhianna Roblet its actually "comes off stage" not "comes on stage" look back at the beginning of the vid
1:39 rip saber tooth cat
Salty Pepper holy fuck I woke everyone up laughing.
edit: the really loud thud followed by the kid going ow is why I broke.
Lmfao ikr
*thwunk*
The dude filming said, "showoff," "do the centipede," giggled a little bit, and then went "butterfly." LMAO
Actually paleontologists believe baby sabertooths didn't have long fangs. At birth they were as long as those of a typical Felidae and continued growing through life.
🤓
Lolllll everybody's mad about "show off" but I'm pretty sure it was the dude filming XD
who ever said show off is just jealous! he dose not know how hard it is to this! agh! I hate that guy!
I know this is late lol but I think he was just kidding

Brilliant acting and one of the best quad suits I've seen yet
You know what I just realized? These BIG CATS who went extinct kinda look like an oversized Lynx with the jaws of a tiger :0
Neon Twinkle Wolf yeah, pretty sure sabers where just bigger lynxes in the ice age actually 90 percent sure :)
Little crow oh no I'm just saying they look like Lynxes with really big Tiger-like teeth

That quadsuid is looking kinda real Q_Q
that's an amazing quad suit, whoever made it I want it! (btw it's not a puppet, you wear it.)
ive been in a quad suit befor it is fun
Don't u mean befur 😉
The Dad filming is obviously biggest fan of this performance
WHO HEARD AT THE BEGINNING SOMEONE SAY SHOW OFF ;OOO BUSTEED
is the saber mama kneading at 8:05?? too cute!
The babys cute, but it looks so weird whenever it lands on its back legs instead of front legs.
Which is a lot.
This baby smilodon's behaviour looks more like a dog's than a cat's
woah thats a really impressive suit

Very impressive quality on the big saber-tooth. If I saw it out in the woods I'd think it was real. I'd probably scream like a sissy girl too lol.
It looks really fun! I wanna go there and look at the show in real life.
No one:
Not a single soul:
Man:
*_Butterfly_*
You all know that the larger Smilodon is a full body costume with a human in it and not a puppet right? The front legs are stilts.
Imagine how loud the Roar would be from a Saber Tooth Tiger and he would move a lot faster than this. He would be powerful!
That's pretty awesome, although I think they should have some music or something in the background.
The bigger cat is a quadsuit, right? I can't really tell... it sure is cool, though.
I have a question, is there a difference between sabertoothed tigers and smilodons? Or is it just like pumas, also being called cougars and mountain lions?
Sabertoothed Tiger is the outdated name. Because they were neither Tiger's or Lions. While Smilodon is the modern and scientific name.
But their closest relatives are lions.
@@user-en3yd3vg5xMachairodonts/Sabertooth Cats closest living relative is the Clouded Leopard. Not Lions.
Hahaha I would love to have it too. But what is great though is that there are artists who build costumes like this! often called "quad suites". I highly recommend the builder "Beastcub".

Because their fangs were so long they could easily break off
Ladies and gentlemen the King of New York City Alex the Lion !
*RROOOOOOOARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*
I’m not a furry but that looks cool to run around in on the streets to see how people react xD
I love the detail of the head on the adult Smilo, but it would've been a lot more realistic if they had made it with Digi legs....
To be fair, there is a real human being in there. I bet you forgot you wrote this
Imagine they were still alive and it was running at you a 50 miles an hour on Halloween 💨😂
I’m sad at how unimpressed the kids sound in the background
That must have been traumatizing when it slid lifelessly to the kid
Who made the Smilodon quadsuit?. I love that and would like to buy one like it
.
the program of the eyes is really nice
on the big cat
I really want a quadsuit now o.o
MOST REALISTIC QUADSUIT IVE SEEN SO FAR 👏
that's a beautiful quadsuit
Yeah
I like SMILODON!!
(Sabertooth Cat)
😎😎😎
I remember seeing this when I was like 8 and really thinking that it was real
best job ever it would get boring but still best job ever
She said it was not easy to survive as a sabertooth but that thing looks like it ate all the McDonalds in the world including the actual buildings xD
Nice one 😂
if Garfield devolved back into a saber toothed tiger this is what he would have looked like
Garfield was mistaken for a sabertoothed cat in an episode of The Garfield Show.
“SHOWOFF!”
“BUTTERFLY!”
*Walrus image in the background*
*Comments saying “quadsuit”*
The four horsemen of the apocalypse.
Lol the camera guy "BUTTERFLY!" xD
He also said show off
the big one honestly scared me!! hahha i dunno why
It was a real costume. The person is bent over into a dog like position but for the front legs to be longer, they put stilts in the leg holes.
This video: *An education show for kids put on by a museum*
Furries: *interesting*
I want to see what real Lion/Tiger reaction towards this
Lion/Tiger response... Long Lost Cousin!!! We haven't seen you in thousands of years. Where have you been? How are ya?
I want this persons job....one day....oh please
Such a cool quadsuit!!
I love quadsuits, they're so cool.
Wow! That guy is good!
At first I thought the entire show was just going to be a sabertooth tiger with the video and the show was pretty good
man i feel sorry for the guy that is the sloth he has not mask...
Ikr! Oooooof
So anybody else think this was a little graphic for the small children when she was describing the encounter she would have had with a real Smilodon?
How could it be a "little graphic" she was noting the facts it's life
True but still.
Also that was a cool quad suit bro
i don't like the back legs on the adult saber-tooth tiger
Miranda Lascelles stop ok quadsuits are hard to make and they can't be perfect
Miranda Lascelles But they can make sure the errors are a lot less obvious unless they dont have enough money
Them heels were too long and it was unnecessary too
@@user-pn2mo3vu8s they can criticize it if they want, stop white knighting
How'd they get the quadsuit to blink? o3o
msapocolypse animatronic
Is it a quadsuit?
@scarredsyxx yeah it's really impressive for a museum budget! I am working o a review of King Kong 360 3D where i will talk about practical effects vs. CGI.
Why is the baby saber tooth cat drunk?! And why is that man is trying to get his attention with some sticks!?
+Jax Nean its a puppet
+Jax Nean yea its a puppet it may look real but its not
This guy's good with puppets!
Lol...my god the Sloth was Hilarious ...
Cool job for a fur suiter to have ;3
Yeah......lets.......lets just pretend the man isnt there.......
I love the Sabre Tooth
Wow that's flipping cool,
Did you hear the dude say " show off" xD
No, not at all XD I'm gonna have nightmares
that is cool i want one
lol "Round One...FIGHT!!"
Hey guys, did you know Jim Henson's company made and puppeteers the adult cat?
I KNOW!! So cool...that was exactly why I looked it up.
BEST FURSUIT EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AWESOME SMILODON!!!!!!!!
Good quality Quad suit
@ShiverZ66 It was stored in the Discovery Center... So hopefully i could abscond with it while all the kiddies are distracted by the T. rex skeleton puzzle.
the modern ice age is now an elephant a sloth and a tiger ._.
An Asian Elephant, a Tree Sloth, and a Clouded Leopard. Because neither Tiger's or Lions are closely related to Smilodons.
Please could someone tell me the minute where he start eating the public?
Came here four the quad suit
