Andrewsarchus

The Andrewsarchus (Andrewsarchus mongoliensis) was a big carnivore that lived in the late Eocene period. It was a mammal, living on land. They looked like big dogs, but they were actually related to whales, hippos, and hoofed animals. Andrewsarchus had hooves, not claws. They were about 2 metres high and 5 metres long.

They lived about 45-36 million years ago. Some people say that the Andrewsarchus was a scavenger, and some say that they were active hunters. They walked on four legs, like a wolf and many other mammals. They ate just about anything that was meat. They could eat turtles and lots of mammals. They were the largest predators on land in the late Eocene period. Andrewsarchus weren't very successful mammals, though.
