What is the name of the saber-toothed squirrel pursued by Scrat in the Ice Age films?

The story behind the answer

Scratte is the female saber-toothed squirrel pursued by Scrat in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.

Scratte appears in the third main Ice Age feature, released in 2009. Scrat initially encounters her while both characters are competing for an acorn. Their rivalry develops into a comic relationship built around theft, pursuit, and competing priorities.

Scratte is voiced by Karen Disher in the English-language film. She is not Scrat’s permanent mate or a member of Manny’s mammoth family; she is a recurring comic foil whose connection to Scrat is driven largely by their shared obsession with acorns.

The character’s name is easy to confuse with Shira, the saber-toothed cat introduced in Continental Drift, or Peaches, Manny and Ellie’s daughter. Scratte belongs specifically to the short gag sequences centered on Scrat, which often run parallel to the main narrative rather than advancing its central plot.
