FASA 365 Day 303, Maxilla Cincinno, (Lock Jaw). K-9 Kangaroo ish? 3-4 ft.
Extremely powerful jaws, that lock onto prey.
The only way to release the jaw is thru a shaking of its head using the muscles in its neck and upper back. This motion rips limbs from body and releases the jaw lock allowing the animal to swallow its prize with only minimal chewing and crushing of bone.
Lives on the plains and near the base of hills and mountains.
Hops mostly, but can run on the front pads of his hind legs for extra speed. Upwards of 45 kph.
Also can quickly run uphill and steep mountain ledges using front paws for balance. However, not nearly as fast coming down hill.
