Hyaenodon gigas

Hyaenodon gigas is a creature in the Prehistoric Zoo. It is the largest species of hyaenodon known.

Biology
Hyaenodon gigas was a hyaenodont from the late Eocene in Asia. Like most carnivorous mammals at the time, the Hyeanodon had a large head yet small brain. Hyeanodon gigas was around the size of a male african lion and was one of the top predators of it's time. It is theorized that the Hyaenodon hunted like a cat, ambushing it's prey before going on a short sprint before taking the unfortunate animal down, where it would use it's teeth to kill it's prey like a canine.

Hyeanodon gigas competed with entelodonts for food, and was probably a prime subject of scavenging from the larger predator, although a fight may have broken out on occasions, ussually one of them would backdownfrom the carcass, no matter who caught it. Likely prey of this animal included the Brontothere Embolotherium, Calicotheres, along with the occasional Parcartherium (aka Indricotherium) calf. Hyaenodon gigas would go extinct in the late Eocene, but the Hyaenodon genus would survive from the Eocene to the middle Miocene.
