}}Titanoides is an extinct genus of pantodont mammal that lived in North Dakota. They were up to {{convert|3|m|ft|abbr=on}} long and up to {{convert|150|kg|lb|abbr=on}} in weight, being the largest mammals of their habitat, a tropical swampland where the main predators were crocodiles. They had a bear-like appearance with huge canines and short limbs with five clawed digits even though they were herbivores, they probably had giant wombat-like traits and attributes instead.[2][3] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Pantodonta|url=http://www.helsinki.fi/~mhaaramo/metazoa/deuterostoma/chordata/synapsida/eutheria/cimolesta/pantodonta.html|publisher=After McKenna & Bell (1997) and Alroy (2002)|accessdate=2 November 2013}} 2. ^https://www.dmr.nd.gov/ndfossil/poster/PDF/Titanoides.pdf 3. ^http://www.paleocene-mammals.de/large_herbivores.htm External links
