Sabre-toothed kyatt

A Sabre-toothed kyatt is an animal that can be trapped using the Hunter skill at level 55. These are caught using a teasing stick to provoke them and then by luring them over pitfall traps. The pitfall traps are set using a log and a knife on the pitfall. There are dead trees which can be cut to obtain the logs. Sabre-toothed kyatts can not be attacked by players. The kyatts are typically non-aggressive, but once teased by a player, kyatts retaliate with melee attacks. Their maximum hit is 70 life points.

Strategy
An easy way to catch these would be to bring a hatchet to cut down the trees located around the hunter area. You will need a knife and a teasing stick as well. Set a trap on the southern pit, tease the one that spawns just north of that and jump the pit. Walk over 2 or down 2 spaces so you don't get stunned if the Kyatt jumps the pit too.

Bringing the Seer's Headband also helps as it supplies the wielder with 2 logs upon cutting down a dead or normal tree.

Reasons to trap Sabre-toothed Kyatts
The fur is used to make Kyatt hunter gear.

The fur is a tertiary component of the Spirit kyatt Summoning Pouch

Catching a saber-toothed kyatt is part of the Fremennik Province Diary, being a medium task.

After completing the Fur 'n' Seek quest, this kyatt drops Sabre-like teeth, a bone in the Odd Old Man's second Wish List.

Habitat(s)
The Sabre-toothed kyatt can be found in the Trollweiss Hunter area.

Glitches
On rare occasions after you have captured a kyatt, it respawns with the spikes from the pitfall trap underneath it, even while it walks around. They eventually diminish after several minutes. This problem also occurs with the Graahk. It has yet to be removed by Jagex. Also, on occasion when you clear the pit of the fallen kyatt, the shadow of the kyatt remains even though there is nothing in the pit.
