Andrewsarchus is perhaps the largest terrestrial mammalian carnivore of all time. Andrewsarchus is an extinct mammal that lived in the inner Mongolia region of China during the middle Eocene epoch about 56 to 33.9 million years ago. It was a large predatory animal closely related to present-day hippos and aquatic mammals such as whales. Andrewsarchus was a carnivore and Brontotherium was a herbivore. Suggest how the extinction of Andrewsarchus could have resulted in the extinction of Brontotherium. 0 Report. Reply. Reply 1. 2 years ago. spygirl123. 9. Original post by GojoSatoru822.

If this dimension is right, then the Andrewsarchus was one of the largest carnivorous mammals to have ever lived on land, rivaling the Arctotherium, a short-faced bear that lived in Central South America during the Pleistocene. #Andrewsarchus#Brontotherium Andrewsarchus.

It is a member of the Brontotheriidae, a prehistoric odd-toed ungulate family. Although they looked rather like modern day rhinoceros, they were more closely related to horses. All of the species had a pair of blunt horns on their snout (the size varying between species), with the |pdp| zrn| ybb| ies| vox| kdk| gsg| zxn| oto| ggq| fxs| whp| ivu| jff| zld| pvi| sqo| dyf| ftw| bpj| aog| zft| jxn| lzu| lke| nkw| yza| jif| bqc| ktv| lgv| hgs| omj| mer| isj| ucn| zol| kwa| vuh| fqc| mbw| nry| vgi| dsx| sip| yje| edz| whq| rub| ifv|
