Scarrittia is an extinct genus of hoofed mammal of the family Leontiniidae, native to South America during the Late Oligocene epoch (Deseadan in the SALMA classification).

Due to a fused tibia and fibula, Scarrittia would have been unable to turn its legs sideways.

[1] This was a very successful genus with various known species, such as Scarrittia robusta, S. barranquensis and S. canquelensis, which lived around 30 million years ago.

They lived in moist forest, near the coast, in wetlands, lakes, swamps, etc.

Some species were omnivorous, eating also eggs and small mammals.
