Featured Prehistoric Creature:
Andrewsarchus lived 40-35 million years ago, was taller than a man and reached sizes up to 18 feet long. This made it the largest carnivorous land mammal in history. Although huge with sharp teeth, it was slow and probably did not hunt. Fossil evidence found in Mongolia suggest that it lived a solitary life scavenging for food along riverbanks and lake shores.
This beast looked like a wolf but was very closely related to hoofed animals such as pigs, deer, camels and cows.
