Toxodon (name meaning "Bow tooth") was a genus of toxodontid mammal from the Pliocene to Pleistocene epoch of South America that appeared in Prehistoric Park.

Portrayal in the series[]

[Shown to be a territorial, semiaquatic herd animal. Might also have poor eyesight (?; needs to be confirmed).]

In Prehistoric Park[]

"Saving the Sabretooth"[]

Nigel encountered a large herd of Toxodon directly after entering the Pleistocene, causing them to stampede in the direction he's driving. Nigel would go on to watch a group wallow in a pond before one became aggressive and charged him in defense, chasing Nigel's jeep away before giving up. Nigel would again observe Toxodon when a Smilodon preyed on one, killing the herbivorous mammal by cutting its throat with its saber teeth. Later, he used a piece of the slain Toxodon's flesh to lure a terror bird back to Prehistoric Park.

Later, when Nigel and Saba Douglas-Hamilton return to South America, they discover that the Toxodon are all gone, driven to extinction by a combination of the kill and chill theory.

Errors[]

  • Toxodon is no longer thought to be semi-aquatic.
