The hunter features of this discovered fierce organism indicate sharp teeth, powerful jaw and strong muscles that suggest that it had a very strong capacity to cut. The newly identified this hunter Bestatodon was a leopard -shaped fierce mammal creature. According to a press release, this terrible creature would have topped all non -vegetarian organisms and food chains when our monkeys were developing.
The study has been published in the magazine of vertebrate palaeontology. The study explains in detail how this terrible creature must have hunted primates in the green forests of Egypt, the hippopotamus of the time, elephants and hyrex. However, this area has now become a desert.
Bestatodon belongs to a species of extinct carnivorous mammals group called Hinodonts. Hinodonts developed long ago from modern -day carnivorous animals such as cats, dogs and hyena. After the extinction of the dinosaurs, these hunters like Hina used to hunt in African ecosystems. This discovery is now creating a challenge for the classification of ancient African predators. That is, now scientists will have to search in history and behind.
