A fossil discovery at La Venta in Colombia provides rare evidence of interactions between two ancient apex predators, a giant caiman and a terror bird, suggesting they may have preyed on each other more often than previously thought, especially near water sources during the Miocene epoch.
Fossil evidence suggests that a 13 million-year-old terror bird in Colombia was killed and possibly eaten or scavenged by a juvenile caiman, challenging previous assumptions about predator-prey relationships in prehistoric ecosystems.
Fossilized bite marks on a giant terror bird's leg suggest it was preyed upon or scavenged by a massive caiman around 12 million years ago, revealing complex predator-prey interactions in ancient South American ecosystems.
