Hunted By Smilodon[edit]

Well, they're certainly different from hippopotamuses in that respect. Hippopotamuses have virtually no enemies. Dora Nichov 13:31, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hunted?[edit]

I haven't run across any sources that suggest that Toxodon was around when humans entered into South America... Any references?--Mr Fink 01:52, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

yes, here is one http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/601253/Toxodon Amdurbin (talk) 20:46, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That article does not make such claims. The suggestion that prehistoric humans hunted it to extinction is utterly ridiculous. Vandalism? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.212.242.19 (talk) 21:26, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Extinction[edit]

This article incorrectly has Toxodon going extinct at the end of the Pleistocene due to North and South America "meeting" then, bringing more competitive herbivores as well as Smilodon. In fact the faunal interchange happened before the beginning of the Pleistocene, in the early Pliocene with the rise of the Panama land bridge, as is well documented. And as noted on the page for Notoungulata, Toxodon was the exceptional survivor among its lineage during the faunal interchange. Therefore I am deleting this passage.Amdurbin (talk) 20:43, 28 March 2009 (UTC) also, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notoungulata Amdurbin (talk) 20:43, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name[edit]

What does the name mean? Could someone please add the meaning? --The High Fin Sperm Whale (talk) 23:07, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The skeleton in Buenos Aires[edit]

What is that hole below the eye socket? Has the cheekbone been damaged? 80.141.159.100 (talk) 17:46, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Palyeidodon obtusum[edit]

I created a new page for Palyeidodon obtusum but don't know how to link it on the Taxonomic tree. If somebody could do this or tell me how I would be thankful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HmmmSimon (talk • contribs) 13:30, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
