An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Windhausenia is an extinct genus of mammals belonging to the family Macraucheniidae and the order Litopterna. While it reached the size of its better known relative Macrauchenia, its constitution was lighter. Remains from the genus have been uncovered in Argentina. Windhausenia fossils were only found in the middle layers of the . The genus was described in 1930 by , who considered it more derived than Promacrauchenia, but less than Macrauchenia.

dbo:abstract
  • Windhausenia es un género extinto y exclusivo de la América del Sur, de mamíferos placentarios de la familia Macraucheniidae, perteneciente al orden Litopterna de los meridiungulata. Aunque algunas especies alcanzaron la talla del más conocido y robusto género Macrauchenia, su constitución era más ligera. Se han hallado restos suyos en Argentina. Windhausenia, un género endémico de la Formación Uquía, aparentemente se registra en los niveles medios de esta unidad. Kraglievich (1930) lo consideró más avanzado que Promacrauchenia pero más primitivo que Macrauchenia.​ El género fue muy longevo y sobrevivió al gran intercambio americano.​ Hubo de competir con sus parientes más avanzados los macrauquenias, por lo que pudo ocupar un nicho ecológico especializado que evitaba la competencia. Sus restos, aparecidos en la región subtropical, en contraste con la zona templada o tropical de otros géneros, se han hallado asociados a depósitos eólicos, correspondientes a ambientes áridos y semiáridos, ocupando un ambiente más similar al de los camellos que el género Macrauchenia.

  • Windhausenia is an extinct genus of mammals belonging to the family Macraucheniidae and the order Litopterna. While it reached the size of its better known relative Macrauchenia, its constitution was lighter. Remains from the genus have been uncovered in Argentina. Windhausenia fossils were only found in the middle layers of the . The genus was described in 1930 by , who considered it more derived than Promacrauchenia, but less than Macrauchenia. The genus survived the Great American Interchange. It had to compete with more derived relatives such as Macrauchenia, and may have occupied a specialised ecological niche to avoid competition. Its remains are found in subtropical areas, while other genera were found in tropical and temperate environment. As fossils of this genus are often found in association with aeolian deposits, corresponding with arid and semiarid environments, it is possible it occupied more similar with modern camels that its relative Macrauchenia.
