TOXODON SURVIVAL

The Toxodon was a prehistoric mammal that is supposed to have died out 16,000 or so years ago.  It was certainly coeval with humans, for arrows have been found among its remains.  However, it may have survived much longer than is generally thought.  An artifact from Peru, dating from 100-300 AD, looks as though it may represent a toxodon.  This does not, of course, indicate that it has survived into modern times
