Ah, good. By the way, a mammoth and a giraffe need to be attacked completely differently. How would mammoth strategies help here?

Umm....mammoth tusks were too big to use against predators; instead they used only size (mostly) Very different from giraffe kicks

The giraffe's legs are long and flexible, meaning lots of reach that you'd need plenty of agility to bypass 2: Intelligence is irrelevant here

i dont think so , modern big cats are very fast like tigers , lions and cougars and jaguars there is no reason to assume smilodon was not There is. Look at the build of the animal It's very bearlike in build, and bears are not agile, as we know Actuall bears (while not as agile as cats) are more agile than they look. A polar bear can jump 10 feet out of water etc. Bears are more agile than bovids as well. Back to topic, a smilodon fatalis will usually lose to a giraffe but can kill a sleeping one if it were asleep. Sleeping giraffes are more vulnerable when lying down.

Well yes bears don't completely lack agility! However, they do have less of it, and that is why a Kodiak bear, polar bear, or Smilodon fatalis are not to be favored here
