箭齿兽

Toxodon platensis

箭齿兽Toxodon)是南方有蹄目中已灭绝的一属,生态上与河马相似,生存于上新世至更新世的南美洲。箭齿兽与一些南蹄目经历了南北美洲生物大迁徙,相信因更新世的气候转变而灭绝。查尔斯·达尔文(Charles Darwin)在《小猎犬号航行之旅》中首先研究了牠的化石。有指箭齿兽的生活模式有点似南美洲的河马,有可能被一般剑齿虎所掠食。

箭齿兽中的T. platensis是一种体型很大的草食性动物,长约2.75米及高1.5米,外观像犀牛。

Toxodon (meaning "bow tooth") is an extinct mammal of the late Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs from about 2.6 million to 16,500 years ago. It is a member of Notoungulata, one of several now extinct orders of hoofed mammals indigenous to South America. It was among the largest and last members of its order, and was probably the most common large-hoofed South American mammal of its time.
