Inostrancevia

Inostrancevia is a gorgonopsid that appears in Into the Paleozoic, a Zoo Tycoon 2 video. The genus contains three species- I. alexandri (the one depicted in the video), I. latifrons, and I. uralensis. It is the first and only gorgonopsid to appear in a Manatee video.

Inostrancevia alexandri was the largest known gorgonopsid, reaching lengths of 11.5 feet (3.5 meters). Living in Russia, Inostrancevia was a contemporary and likely predator of Scutosaurus, which also appears in videos. Vladimir P. Amalitsky named the animal in 1922 for Russian geologist Aleksandr Inostrantsev. It is known from two complete skulls and two nearly-complete skeletons.
