That much is obvious. The question is how they get around sabre tooth without being a major obstruction to bite pieces of meat off.
As for the other animals, Elephants mostly use their trunks to put food in their mouths. Pigs, their teeth are not that huge comparatively speaking and less of an obstruction, plus the have a very long snouts. Walruses, I have no idea how they manage to feed either.
