Ask AI: Write an origin story on why Soto the Saber-toothed cat (from the first Ice Age film) was evil and hated humans.

Title: Soto: The Ice Age Predator Long before Soto became the ruthless leader of a pack of saber-toothed tigers in the Ice Age, he was merely a cub, innocent and full of life. Soto was born in a harsh wilderness environment, characterized by biting cold and scarce resources, but still abundant with the love provided by his family. From a young age, he learned to hunt, to survive, to respect the Circle of Life, whilst observing the delicate balance between nature and creatures, including humans who also sought their survival with their primitive strategies. The turning point in Soto's life occurred when his home was invaded by human hunters. In an uneventful evening, engaged in their family play, Soto and his family inadvertently became the targets of the invading humans. Their advanced tools and ruthless tactics led to the ultimate tragedy - the demise of Soto's family. Soto was the only survivor, escaping, but scarred for life both physically and emotionally. From that day forward, Soto's heart was overcome with fury - a cold rage against the humans who had destroyed his world. No longer did he see them as fellow survivors, but as cruel invaders. His worldview distorted, his innocence robbed, Soto was consumed with the idea of revenge. Growing more powerful with each passing day, he looked forward to meeting the humans in future confrontations, not as a victim, but as a predator. This time, he was stronger and more formidable, the leader of a saber-toothed pack, ready to take his vengeance. He saw humans not only as his mortal enemies but also as threats to all animal species, posing immediate danger with their increasingly complex tools and expanding territories. Even though every encounter with humans reminded Soto of his tragic past, it steered him towards his solitary goal - to make the humans pay, to make sure no creatures would ever suffer at their hands like he did, hence leading to the evil Soto we encounter in the first Ice Age film. However, deep down, Soto was more than just a villain; he was a victim of circumstances, turned rogue by the intensity of his grief, making his story a tragic tale of love, loss, and retribution.
