  • Alphadon is a small prehistoric marsupial that appeared in film Walking with Dinosaurs: The Movie. It is seen being chased by an inquisitive baby Pachyrhinosaurus.
  • Not much is known of its appearance as it is only known from teeth. It probably grew to about 12 in (30 cm) and may have resembled a modern opossum. Judging from its teeth, it was likely an omnivore, feeding on fruits, invertebrates and possibly small vertebrates. Alphadon lived during the end of the late Cretaceous period, alongside dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops. Its fossils have been found across North America, ranging from as far north as Alberta, Canada, to as far south as New Mexico in the United States.
  • In Carnivores Cityscape it is commonly mistaken for a rat, but observation of the the games files reveals it to be Alphadon. In the game itself, it can found in almost all the areas. While it doesn't pose a threat to the player, it does have a strange habit of following him around to the point of walking in circles around him when he stands still. In the dinosaur campaign, they will often run to and eat dead agents on the ground after the player kills them, making whining sounds in the process.

  • Alphadon is a small prehistoric marsupial that appeared in film Walking with Dinosaurs: The Movie. It is seen being chased by an inquisitive baby Pachyrhinosaurus.
  • In Carnivores Cityscape it is commonly mistaken for a rat, but observation of the the games files reveals it to be Alphadon. In the game itself, it can found in almost all the areas. While it doesn't pose a threat to the player, it does have a strange habit of following him around to the point of walking in circles around him when he stands still. In the dinosaur campaign, they will often run to and eat dead agents on the ground after the player kills them, making whining sounds in the process. On level one of Carnivores: Cityscape, when playing as agent, if you go in the lake, and push around by the rock under water, you will pop into a secret tunnel. If you keep going, you will encounter a room in which there is a statue of Serious Sam, and there are a few Alphadons around the statue that are stuck in their death animation, and appear to be bowing to the statue.

Its fossils have been found across North America, ranging from as far north as Alberta, Canada, to as far south as New Mexico in the United States.[2] The type species is A. marshi.[2] The species Nortedelphys jasoni was originally described as a species of the genus Alphadon by Storer (1991); however, it was subsequently transferred to the herpetotheriid genus Nortedelphys.[3] The number of marsupial species in North America plummeted at the end of the Cretaceous, and Alphadon represent the only surviving lineage together with its Paleocene successor Peradectes.
