Hyaenodon ("hyena-tooth") is an extinct genus of carnivorous placental mammals from extinct tribe Hyaenodontini within extinct subfamily Hyaenodontinae (in extinct family Hyaenodontidae), [19] that lived in Eurasia and North America from the middle Eocene, throughout the Oligocene, to the early Miocene.
Other large hyaenodonts include two close and later-surviving relatives of Simbakubwa, Hyainailouros and Megistotherium (the latter likely being the largest in the group), and the much earlier-living Hyaenodon gigas (the largest species from genus Hyaenodon), which may have been as large as 1.4 m high at the shoulder, 3.0 m long and weighed ...
Named by Robert Savage in 1973, [1] Megistotherium is one of the largest known hyaenodonts. Like the other hyaenodonts, it had an enormous skull relative to its body; up to 66.4 cm (2 ft 2.1 in) in length [ 1 ] and a body mass estimated at 500 kg (1,100 lb). [ 12 ]
The largest carnivore in the formation, a predatory creodont similar to a grey wolf that lived in many different Holarctic environments. H. pervagus is the only species found outside of Tatal Gol. Restoration of Hyaenodon gigas , largest species of Hyaenodon.
Different regression models produce a wide range of body mass estimates for Simbakubwa kutokaafrika: from a low estimate of 280 kg (620 lb), based on an equation derived from the m3 length of various large carnivorans, comparable to the largest lions, to an upper estimate possibly reaching up to 1,308 and 1,554 kg (2,884 and 3,426 lb), based on equations derived from carnassial length of ...

The largest skulls of Paraceratherium are around 1.3 metres (4.3 ft) long, 33 to 38 centimetres (13 to 15 in) at the back of the skull, and 61 centimetres (24 in) wide across by the zygomatic arches. Paraceratherium had a long forehead, which was smooth and lacked the roughened area that serves as attachment point for the horns of other ...
