Dynastic Mesopredators

Published:

Description

Before the dynastic extinction, tyrants reigned supreme. Even their juveniles were the top mesopredator, and to make a living, other predators had to be adaptable and stick to the fringes. When the tyrants died, these were the contenders for the throne: abelisaurids, eudromaeosaurs, and entelodonts. If you haven't already, check out my latest video to learn how these clades evolved into giants.

What were the top predators of the Known World in-between the Dynastic Extinction and the arrival of the Robust Monarchs? I'm guessing it was surviving Abelisaurids and/or raptors, but I'd love to know for certain.
