TOXODON

Tis is another of the genders i could identify in the area of Mar de Ajó. Although a piece of an epiphysis is not representative evidence, I am sure this finding is enough to say that Toxodon platensis lived there.

Toxodonts were herbivorous mamales that used to live in riversides and lakes, we believe they had a semi accuatic life, like hippopotamus. they were around 3 metres long and 1,60 -1,70 metres tall.
