Wiki
Introduction:
The largest species,
D. gigantea
, is known to have reached head-to-body lengths and shoulder heights of 1.9 m (6.2 ft) and 1.3 m (4.3 ft) for the largest individuals, with total skull lengths of 43 cm (17 in).
[3]
In terms of weight, it was originally stated to have weighed up to 380 kg (840 lb).
[4]
However, the method used has been known to overestimate the masses of extinct carnivorans. Smaller individuals, such as the holotype specimen, hit around 200 kg (440 lb).
[5]
Based on this smaller specimen, the largest specimens of this species would have reached weights close to 300 kg (661 lb), which rivals the mass of the largest tiger sub-species, and is only exceeded by
Smilodon populator
,
Panthera atrox
, and several
amphicyonids
and ursids. The other species were smaller in size, but still quite large compared to hyena species alive today.
Dinocrocuta
had a large range and ruled most of the Eurasia and some parts of Africa.
D. gigantea
ranged from Central China to Spain,
[6]
and encompassed areas in between, like Mongolia, India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Greece.
[7]
[8]
D. algeriensis
managed to makes its way to North Africa, and
D. senyureki
originated in the Tibet region.
[9]
Dinocrocuta
was an exceptionally powerful predator and scavenger, capable of preying on animals much larger than itself. Though it is currently unknown if
Dinocrocuta
was solitary or social, it was probably an able hunter of such animals as the tusked rhinoceros
Chilotherium
.
Chilotherium
, despite its great size, was vulnerable to the giant feliform, particularly when it was giving birth, or was injured or sick. A skull and jaw from a female
Chilotherium
bears the distinctive bite marks on the forehead from a
Dinocrocuta
's
teeth, indicating that the rhino was part of the carnivore's diet. The regrowth of bone on the rhino's injuries also indicate that the
Dinocrocuta
's
attempt at predation failed and that the rhinoceros fought off her attacker, managing to escape and heal.

1.Authenticity Guarantee:
Our products are guaranteed to be genuine. If you can submit a forged report through a third-party impartial institution, we will guarantee a refund. Before sending the fossils, we will use a microscope to record all the biological characteristics of the fossils as evidence (including the surface texture of the bones and the texture of the internal structure of the bones, etc.),So please do not use the reason for the counterfeit goods received in eBay's return mechanism to refund, because this is a very serious and false accusation, we will present evidence and take legal action.
The definition of fake fossil is that it has no biological characteristics but does not include restoration and glue.
Restoration is defined as the use of natural or artificial materials to reconstruct missing parts of fossils. Natural materials include bones, tooth, rocks, etc. Artificial materials include epoxy resin, gypsum B72, etc.
2.Shipping Safety Guarantee
DHL or EMS

(This condition does not include the cracks caused by the natural cracks originally present in the fossils, nor does it include the problem of natural shedding of eggshells.)
Due to vibrations during transportation, the fossils may crack from the original crack, so I applied a thick layer of B72 to avoid this, but if this happens, you only need to use a high concentration B72, just stick them back on.
If you cannot accept this situation and may use this reason to return or refund, please do not bid it.

11. Since more than 90% of the skeleton is composed of real bones, there are thousands of natural cracks on real bones.So it is likely to be cracked due to the vibration generated during transportation. In order to avoid this situation, I applied a thick layer of B72 on the bone to avoid this situation, but if this happens, you only To use a high concentration of B72, just reattach it. We will attach B72 to you and teach you how to use it.
If you cannot accept this situation and may use this reason to return or refund, please do not bid.
12. The customs of the United States or the customs of countries around the world have routine security checks every year.That is to say, a certain piece of goods will be kept in the customs for security inspection.This inspection is mainly to check for explosives and drugs.

DHL or any express delivery has no right to interfere with customs inspections, nor do they have the right to require customs officers to speed up customs clearance.This inspection will be delayed for at least 7 days due to lack of manpower.
If you do not agree with the above, please do not bid it.
13.Delivery may be delayed due to inspections by customs officers, natural disasters, epidemics, or other uncontrollable factors.These factors have nothing to do with the reputation and quality assurance of our sellers.Please do not use these factors beyond our control to discredit us, we will reserve the right of legal prosecution.
