Hey, Harpagolestes.

This fossil friend is a mesonychid, extinct carnivorous mammals sometimes called “wolves with hooves.” Tooth wear hints that this beast regularly cracked and crushed bones as it fed on other creatures around 40 million years ago, in what’s now Wyoming. 🧪

Harpagolestes immanis, huge bone crunching mesonychid.
Sometimes people refer this beast by the funny name of “hyaena-pig”.

Two large wolf-like animals. One beast is standing, opening its fanged mouth in a play-snarl as it attempts to climb over its reclining mate.

A few notes about this John Sibbick painting.

1) This piece features not just Andrewsarchus and Sarkastodon, but also Harpagolestes. They must be the brown carnivores on the left. Interestingly, they’re depicted in a group. Gonna be one helluva battle for the carcass.

happy #fossilfriday! this is mongolestes, a giant mesonychid from late eocene and early oligocene asia. mongolestes was one of the last mesonychids, and similar to the related harpagolestes, it was likely a bone-crunching scavenger around the size of a bear

the hoofed - yeah, you read that correctly, this is an ungulate - carnivore mongolestes rests in the shade of a tree with her cubs

along with the aforementioned harpagolestes, mongolestes and mongolonyx were some of the largest mesonychids, and most likely the first carnivorous mammals to become large-bodied apex predators

harpagolestes immanis
(mesonychidae, mesonychia)

the coloring was a challenge. and i think i made the tail too long, might have preferred a different ear shape too. but i tried, i think it’s okay!

two drawings of harpagolestes immanis, a prehistoric hoofed carnivore/scavenger. its appearance is somewhat between a pig, a bull, and a dog. it has greyish-brown mottled fur. one drawing is a full body, the other is a bust, against an abstract greenish shape in the background

A wolf-like animal, Pachyaena intermedia, pursues the small, hippo-like dinoceratan, Bathyopsis, through the forest. P. intermedia has its mouth opened wide in an attempt to bite at the neck of Bathyopsis. Bathyopsis has several wounds already from its pursuer. A half-rotten, chewed up carcass of a dead Protitanotherium brontothere lies on its side in the shallows of a lake. Three wolf-like animals, Harpagolestes koreanicus, scavenge the carcass. One is reaching across the corpse's ribcage to eat at the innards, a second beast is pulling a morsel out of the eyesocket, and a third is raising its snout in frustration at the other two. A large, bear-sized animal, Harpagolestes uintensis, is casually strolling in front of a copse of shaggy palm trees. The animal has shaggy, spotted fur, and its mouth is opened to reveal large teeth. The ground is covered in decaying palm frond fragments. In the foreground is the skull of an Archaeotherium entelodont: the eyesocket has a mouse-like creature peeking out of it. Hessolestes ultima, a large, wolf-like animal, lies on the edge of a bluff. The animal has its fanged mouth open, its tongue hanging out as it pants in the hot, tropical air. The bluff isn't that tall, as a brontothere is walking unperturbed beneath Hessolestes.

Harpagolestes was a large mammal, roughly the size of a black bear, so you could give them a real good squeeze.

doedicurus clavicaudatus, a very large species of extinct armadillo belonging to the still extant family, chlamyphoridae. depicted with pale skin and some white hair on its underside. it is a glyptodont, belonging to the glyptodontinae subfamily. notable for its spiked, clubbed tail. like other glyptodonts, its head was large, round, and blunt, and it had a large, unbanded carapace. harpagolestes immanis, a mesonychian mesonychid, an early hoofed carnivore. notable for its large size, comparable to a grey wolf. depicted with mottled grey fur and a long, dog-like tail. mesonychians were fairly dog-like creatures with five digits on each foot, but each digit had a small hoof to improve speed and endurance, therefore sacrificing the ability to grapple with prey and instead enlarging the skulls to house strong muscles associated with bite force. leptictidium auderiense, a small animal somewhat resembling a bipedal, hopping elephant shrew. it is depicted with brown fur and lighter spots and stripes along the back, and a long, tufted tail. it has a long snout. while the morphology of its leg bones appear built for hopping like a kangaroo, it may not have been able to withstand the stress on the legs for long and possibly would locomote by bipedal running more often, similar to birds and theropod dinosaurs, though it may have hopped occasionally to increase speed. it is considered to have belonged to a group outside of but closely related to placentals. didelphodon vorax, an early mammal resembling a sort of opossum-otter cross that lived in the mesozoic era alongside dinosaurs. it is depicted with dark brown fur. recent analysis indicates some aquatic behaviors. it was large for a mesozoic mammal, slightly larger than a virginia opossum. despite its name, it is not an opossum, but it is a metatherian related to marsupials.

The notion Ankalagon (a mesonychid) was as huge as a grizzly, is based similarly on skull length, thus disregarding the postcranial proportions, of the mesonychid clade.

For what its, worth, Ankalagon wasn't uniquely massive among mesonychids; Harpagolestes skulls were comparably long.
