Andrewsarchus mongoliensis

Andrewsarchus (†Andrewsarchus mongoliensis (Osborn, 1924))

 

Order: Artiodactyla

Clade: Cetancodontamorpha

Family: Andrewsarchidae

Temporal range: during the  Eocene (Asia) (32-60 million years ago)

Dimensions: length - 3.2 m, height - 140 сm, weight ~ 800 kg

A typical representative:  Andrewsarchus mongoliensis

 

 

Andrewsarchus mongoliensis ("bone cruncher") was the largest carnivorous land mammal that lived during the Eocene epoch between 32 to 60 million years ago. It had a long snout with large, sharp teeth and flat cheek teeth that may have been used to crush bones. Because Andrewsarchus is only known from a single enormous skull (83 cm long and 56 cm wide), whether it was an active predator or a large scavenger is open to debate, as is its exact time range. Though scientists can’t be sure, the huge skull suggests the animal may have been twice as big as a grizzly bear, making it the largest carnivorous land mammal of all time. It is belived that Andrewsarchus has eaten turtles because the only Andrewsarchus fossil to be found was in a prehistoric coastal area. But they could also have eaten giant herbivorous mammals, such as the rhino-like Brontotherium. Some scientists think Andrewsarchus is a close relative of whales, since they share a similar jaw structure.

Ром, НЕМЕДЛЕННО ВЕРНИ твоих ПРЕКРАСНЫХ эндрюсархов самых первейших вариантов! ЭТО ШЕДЕВРЫ! Этого бегемотоида трудно назвать эндрюсархом!

Митрич, спасибо за комментарии.Я их все очень внимательно читаю и наматываю на ус). Многие реконструкции я постепенно переделываю, так что мысли и пожелания вместе с конструктивной критикой, будут учтены. Еще раз спасибо за обратную связь!

Может я чего-то и не понимаю, но у этого эндрюсарха рожа какая-то по-моему, слишком уж бегемотообразная, не кажется вам? Понимаю- "когда кажется - креститься надо"!И все же, по-моему самые реалистичные реконструкции этого костогрыза или падалеяда были раньше у тебя, Ром, самые первые. У Буриана они тоже весьма реалистичные - что-то среднее между свином и гиеной!

I love all of your art (and should comment positively for the rest of them)... the only negative thing I would say about this is that the eye socket seems too high.
