And, uh, four of these, just an empty sion and they're relevant, first became noticed by paleontologists in the 19th century, and they were interpreted as dogs. They looked at the, uh, the scalp and the remains and they looked at dogs as just having extremely powerful bites. And, uh, looking at their worn down teeth found in the jaws of these, uh, these animals, uh, the, uh, uh, the insurance that they were frequently eating bones. And it wasn't until about 2019 that paleontologists finally found better proof that a fossil, uh, skin attacked with bone shards, um, in rocks of just about 6 million years old, paleontologists found a latrine of fossil feces. That was left behind by these, uh, these dogs. And, uh, and also the, uh, they also found bones that they'd been eating, uh, in that, that same area. This is repeater station kilo- And when natural history, uh, the Athena, uh, Los Angeles, California, paleontologists and colleagues were located in Shelton, Washington, of the species fossil, they found bone fragments that were often fully digested. And the, the, the entities had also suggested that these dogs trained on herbivores that were between, uh, 77 and 220 pounds and, and much larger. And, uh, so, uh, 77 to 220 pounds would be kind of a, more of a cryo-treaty, let's say, a, a meal here now. But some of these bigger animals, uh, uh, you know, on par with, let's say, a rhino or a, uh, or a, uh, a moose. And so there's no North American, uh, American carnivore that's capable of crushing both, like, uh, these, uh, prehistoric dogs.
