Description
Esqueleto reconstruido de Dukecynus magnus, el mayor mamífero depredador descubierto en La Venta (Mioceno de Colombia). El húmero y fémur fueron reconstruidos en base al espécimen UCMP 39250 , que pertenecen a un esparasodonto fragmentario grande hallado en La Venta y podrían pertenecer a Dukecynus.

English: Skeletal reconstruction of Dukecynus magnus, the largest predatory mammal discovered in La Venta (Miocene of Colombia) . The humerus and femur were reconstructed based in the specimen UCMP 39250, that belongs to a fragmentary large sparassodont founded in La Venta and could belong to Dukecynus.
