Old Razor-Tooth Is Museum Favorite
Old saber-tooth Smilodon Californicus dominates the Panhandle Plains Historical Society annex in Canyon as visitors admire the nearly complete skeleton. Donated by the University of California, the giant predator rivals the Bengal tiger in size and strength, once capable of killing Imperial elephants. Equus Scotti, an extinct horse, joins the display, while Higginss resident Harley Goettsch and Prof. C Stuart Johnston oversee the mounting and study work. The horse skeleton came from the McDaniel ranch in Briscoe County during a WPA scientific project.
