In Depth
Ruhuhucerberus is a genus of gorgonopsid that lived in Tanzania during the Permian. The Ruhuhucerberus type species was originally named as a species of Aelurognathus called A. aughtoni, but was split and elevated to genus level by Maisch in 2002. A second species of Ruhuhucerberus, R. terror, is now considered to be synonymous with the type species.
