Late Miocene of Asia. The hornless rhinoceros, Chilotherium, is stuck in the thick mud. Ancient hyenas Ictyterium scurried around the mud pit, awaiting his death. But they retreated in fear when appeared the real owner of the these graves - Dinocrocuta Поздний миоцен Азии. В загустевшей грязи крепко увяз безрогий носорог хилотерий (Chilotherium). Ожидая его смерти, около грязевой ямы крутились древние гиены иктитерии (Ictitherium). Но они отступили перед настоящим хозяином здешних могильников - динокрокутой (Dinocrocuta).

Dinocrocuta vs Chilotherium

Artwork by Julio Lacerda / @paleoart

Dinocrocuta was a hyena-like predator, one of the biggest carnivores to stalk the ancient grasslands of China. It could take on prey animals as large as the rhinoceros Chilotherium, as shown by a 9-million-year-old fossil skull with a deep injury on its forehead.
