ANDREWSARCHUS — The Mystery Beast
The largest mammalian land predator... that was related to sheep.
Prowling the coasts of Eocene Asia, this massive beast had a skull nearly three feet long. Despite looking like an enormous, nightmarish wolf, its closest living relatives today are actually hippos and whales.
Enormous, mysterious, and bizarre.
Fun Fact: We only know this animal exists because of a single, massive skull found in the Gobi Desert in 1923; the rest of its body shape is entirely an educated guess based on its relatives!
