Description Stylinodon mirus is a leopard-sized mammal from the Early to Middle Eocene of what is now Wyoming. It is the best known of an otherwise obscure group of mammals known as "Taeniodonta." It is presumed to have been a root-grubbing herbivore with omnivorous or possibly even carnivorous tendencies.

Palaeosyops major was a tapir-sized brontothere.

I like the fur colouring! Taeniodonta looks interesting.

Too bad they didn't stick around.

I think that the ground and background with the stylinodon need to be lightened, so as to make the creature stand out more.
