†Scarrittia canquelensis Simpson, 1934 |
Scarrittia is an extinct genus of mammal.
The rhinoceros-like creature was about 2 m (6 ft 8 in) long and had a relatively long body and neck. Due to a fused tibia and fibia, Scarrittia couldn't turn its legs sideways. The short skull had 44 poorly specialized teeth.
