Macrauchenia stock image

Macrauchenia was a litoptern mammal that lived in southern South America from about 7 million years ago to 10,000 years ago. Litopterns were distantly related to odd-toed mammals like horses and rhinos, but developed in isolation on South America from the time of the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs to the last Ice Age.
