👉 Pithecophaga is a genus of extinct large carnivorous mammals from the Late Cretaceous period, which lived in North America during the late Eocene epoch. They had a robust and muscular body with a long neck and powerful jaws capable of tearing through soft tissues to extract food. Pithecophagidae were known for their hunting skills, using their sharp teeth and talons to capture prey such as rodents, birds, and small mammals.
