Neogene - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeogeneThe Neogene (/ ˈ n iː. ə dʒ iː n / NEE-ə-jeen), informally Upper Tertiary or Late Tertiary, is a geologic period and system that spans 20.45 million years from the end of the Paleogene Period 23.03 million years ago to the beginning of the present Quaternary Period 2.58 Mya. The Neogene is sub-divided into two epochs, the earlier Miocene and the later Pliocene.
Titanis - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TitanisTitanis was approximately 1.4 to 1.9 meters (4.6 to 6.2 ft) tall and around 150 kilograms (330 lb) in weight. When compared with other phorusrhacids, the examined material indicates a large variation in the size of Titanis, perhaps indicating strong sexual dimorphism. It had long, agile legs, and three-toed feet with long talons.It could undoubtedly run at high speeds when hunting.

Hydrocynus goliath - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocynus_goliathDistribution. Hydrocynus goliath is found in the Congo River Basin (including Lualaba River and Lake Upemba), and Lake Tanganyika. A study published in 2011 revealed several mtDNA clades in this region, suggesting a higher tigerfish species richness than traditionally recognized. If confirmed, this would restrict H. goliath to the Congo River Basin. Four additional species (H. …
