Phorusrhacos, Smilodons and Macrauchenia in ancient Argentina 2 million years ago
Northern Argentina about 2 million years ago. When a land bridge formed between North and South America there were species that moved south and north. In the south, the dominant predator had been the giant terror birds. Representing these viscious birds in this image is Phorusrhacos. The large Smilodons of North America, however, wandered into the south and over time became the dominant predator eventually displacing the giant flightless birds. An unusual looking quadroped of the time was Macrauchenia. Looking like a cross between a camel and tapir. They were common among the Pampas plains of that period

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to ancient Argentina, approximately 2 million years ago. As a land bridge formed between North and South America, various species migrated in both directions. In the southern region, the dominant predators were the fearsome giant terror birds known as Phorusrhacos. This artwork beautifully captures their imposing presence. However, this balance of power was soon disrupted when large Smilodons from North America ventured into the south. Over time, these formidable creatures became the new apex predators, gradually displacing the once-dominant flightless birds. Amidst this prehistoric landscape stands an intriguing creature called Macrauchenia – a peculiar quadruped resembling a cross between a camel and tapir. These unique animals roamed freely across the Pampas plains during that period. Arthur Dorety's digitally generated illustration transports us to a world teeming with diverse wildlife and untamed wilderness. The vibrant colors bring life to these extinct species while highlighting their significance in paleontology and zoology. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of Earth's ever-changing natural history and marvel at how evolution has shaped such extraordinary creatures. It serves as a powerful testament to our planet's rich biodiversity throughout different eras.
