(Free Comic Book Day 2024: Ultimate Universe/Spider-Man#1 / 2 (fb) - BTS) -
A smilodon accompanied a scarred savage in the Savage Land but
ultimately died when the Savage Land itself was rendered extinct. The
smilodon's corpse, along with that of its savage human accomplice, was
stuffed and placed in a one of many Damage Control storage facilities.
(Free Comic Book Day 2024: Ultimate
Universe/Spider-Man#1 / 2) - When the Ultimates gained access to a Damage
Control facility, they passed by several corpses and unused superheroic
costumes, including the stuffed corpses of the smilodon and his savage
compatriot.

The smilodon and his compatriot in this profile are pretty obviously meant to be the Earth-6160 counterparts of Earth-616's Zabu and Ka-Zar but the sabretoothed tiger nor the savage seen next to him were never actually identified in the story, hence the quotations around their names in this profile.
"Zabu"'s eye color appeared yellow
in its one and only appearance but they could very well be green like
his Earth-616 counterpart, as it was only seen behind yellow-hued glass.
