formidable predator. this is Carnufex carolinensis. a name that translates to the "Carolina Butcher". 3 meters in length and 1.5 meters in height, it's posture is thought to have been akin to Theropod Dinosaurs. Carnufex may have preyed on young animals, using the element of surprise to catch them.

an ancient relative of modern narwhals and beluga measuring 5 meters long. at the end of the Miocene Epoch, the Meditteranean sea was cut off from the rest of the atlantic in an event called the Messinian salinity crisis, this created land bridges and with new arrivals, some native species vanished.
