The carnivoran species (well, almost all of them!) from the Miocene fossil sites of Cerro Batallones, Madrid. From left to right: Simocyon (foreground); Magericyon (middle ground); Indarctos (background); Protictitherium (foreground); Eomellivora (middle ground); Leptofelis (foreground); Machairodus (background); and Promegantereon (foreground). All shown to the same scale.
