A
rhino-sized, wolf-like carnivore, Andrewsarchus is actually a
relative of our familiar hoofed animals and a distant relative
of the early

and as single specimens, so it seems that these animals might
have been solitary scavengers along riverbanks and tide lines.
SIZE: 6 feet tall and 16 feet long, with a skull around 33 inches long
