Biology:Arctodictis
From HandWiki
Arctodictis is an extinct genus of borhyaenid sparassodont that lived in South America during the Miocene epoch.[1]
Palaeobiology
Arctodictis was a relatively cursorial animal, though not to the same degree as the related Borhyaena. It was a generalist carnivore.[2] Among mammalian carnivores of the Santa Cruz Formation, Arctodictis munizi had the largest typical prey size.[3]
