In this time, we brought to you another fresh new from the paleontological world, just this time it has nothing to do with dinosaurs, and instead, it's related to gian carnivorous mammals. We hope you like it.

A special thanks to Dr. Matthew R. Borths for providing access to the 3D model and photographs of Simbakubwa.
