Hyaenodon
DESCRIPTION

Another prehistoric mammal, and one of my favorites -- Hyaenodon horridus. They lived from the Eocene through the Miocene, this species inhabiting North America. They belong to a group of mammals that used to be called creodonts (now placed in Hyaenodonta) separate from but evolving alongside members of the order Carnivora.

I've been sketching out a lot more Hyaenodons, so don't be surprised if they show up again. It's really neat playing around with the kind of prehistoric world that they inhabit and trying my hand at some kind of anthro paleoart. I'm not going for total accuracy by any means, but don't hesitate to offer pointers if you have some knowledge on the species or the time period -- I'm still educating myself.
