通称：安氏兽
物种：蒙古安氏兽
时代：中新世
食性：杂食
性情：投机取巧
野生
安氏兽充满出人意料之处，这些笨拙的生物在觅食时看起来很迟钝，但当它们被激怒时，其移动速度却快得出奇。像其他的鲸鱼河马亚目生物一样，安氏兽会积极地保卫它的领土，对抗同体型以及更小的入侵者。
安氏兽在冲锋时无法迅速调转方向，因此在保持一定距离的情况下，幸存者们有机会避开它们的冲锋攻击。不过，别指望河流或湖泊能够保护你免受伤害，只要安氏兽的脚能够触底，水域几乎不会对它们的速度产生影响。
在饥饿状态下，这种食腐动物会撕碎面前的任何东西，但它们最喜爱的还是甜食，有幸存者见过安氏中兽被蜂蜜和水果安抚下来。
家养
一旦被驯服，安氏中兽就是一个可靠的快速驮兽，只要你不需要它以全速转弯。它的密度也使其成为在海底寻找珍珠的理想选择，因为它很容易沉入海底。
其鞍具设计囊括了一把转轮机枪，驾驶员在其密封的装甲外壳内能获得更大的安全感。虽然安氏兽吸收的伤害不如方舟的一些大型生物，但它非常适合骚扰它们。
Common name: Andrewsarchus
Species: Andrewsarchus mongoliensis
Time: Middle Eocene
Diet: Omnivore
Temperament: Opportunistic
Wild
Andrewsarchus is a beast that's full of surprises. These ungainly creatures might seem sluggish while foraging for a meal, but they can move unexpectedly fast when provoked. Like certain other whippomorphs, Andrewsarchus will aggressively defend its territory against interlopers. With some distance between you, it may be possible to dodge a charging Andrewsarchus -- they don't exactly turn on a dime. Just don't expect a river or lake to protect you from one. As long as its feet can reach bottom, Andrewsarchus will plow its way right through deep water. These scavengers will tear into just about anything if hungry, but they've got a bit of a sweet tooth. I've seen many an agitated Andrewsarchus pacified by some honey.
Domesticated
Once tamed, Andrewsarchus is a reliably fast beast of burden, as long as you don't need it to take any corners at full speed. Its density in water also makes Andrewsarchus ideal for searching ocean floors for pearls, since it sinks so readily to the bottom. The preferred saddle design includes a mounted minigun to target foes, while the driver stays safe inside their airtight armored enclosure. Though a fully-armored Andrewsarchus can't absorb as much damage as some of the ARK's larger creatures, it still excels at harassing them.
