branagh's exact words are "his nearest modern relatives are hoofed animals like sheep and goats" which could even imply that the series considers andrewsarchus a bovid, a classification that i've been unable to find any scientific support for
regardless, current consensus is that andrewsarchus' closest living relatives are cetaceans and hippopotamuses, with which it is grouped in the total clade cetancodontamorpha
