ANDREWSARCHUS
El Andrewsarcus habito el planeta tierra alla por el eoceno superior entre hace 45 y 36 millones de años, en lo que conemos como Asia central. Se le ha considerado el mayor mamifero carnivoro terrestre descubierto hasta la fecha. Se trataba de una criatura verdaderamente gigantesca alcanzando tamaños de de casi cuareo metros de largo, dos de alto y superaba holgadamente la tonelaba de peso. Los dientes del Andrewsarcus eran como cuchillos, complementados con algunos dientes planos que les servian para triturar.
Andrewsarchus is the largest land based Mammalian carnivore ever to live on the planet. Its estimated to have been about 6 feet tall at the shoulder and over 12 feet long. Its only known from one single skull specimen however and so therefore its true size can not be determined for sure, but it is generally believed to have been the largest terrestrial Mammal carnivore of all time.
Whilst there is some debate over whether or not it was a predator or a scavenger its power is still undisputed. It could bite with a force of over 2000 pounds which is comparable to 1 ton over twice that
