Allqu uyam is one of three mesungulatid species in the Santa Lucia Formation. Mesungulatids were a highly successful lineage of meridiolestidans, some of the largest Cretaceous mammals and enduring in our timeline as the giant Paleocene Peligrotherium tropicalis. A. uyam is one of the more conservative species, a raccoon sized animal that likely also lived a similar omnivorous lifestyle, though likely not as arboreal. That is fine, the treetops were crowded anyways. It is thought that this animal might represent a local mesungulatid radiation alongside its larger cousin Kuzcotherium elegans, perhaps forced into more carnivorous niches with the arrival of southern and northern herbivores.
