Description
Skeletal reconstruction of the specimen CM 1594 of Daeodon shoshonensis, the most complete specimen found yet, it was originally the holotype of Dinohyus. It's a large animal but based on the type being just a bit smaller and most of the other (few and fragmentary) known specimens being about the same or even slightly larger, CM 1594 appears to represent the "average" fully grown adult.Related content

Entelodonts are flipping scary. Not only are they tall with a large body and head, their jaws can open 109 degrees, and they can crack bones with those jaws which are powered by huge muscles.

Mira, use tu esqueleto e hice este dibujo de daeodon, no es el tipico entelodonte de ficcion parecido a un reptil, me lo imagine mas como un gran carnivoro

Awesome skeletal! Entelodonts are
my favorite prehistoric mammal group! Could I use this a refrence for a drawing please?

Hello,
I noticed you have published this under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License. I just want to double check that this is indeed what you intend?
I would like to add this to the Wikipedia page for this creature, as it currently lacks one. Are you ok with this? Here is the Wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daeodon
Thanks for your time.

It was intended, specially because I do want to add it to the Wikipedia article but I was waiting until I redo it from scratch, if you think it's ok as it is now, you can add it, we could replace it later when I improve it.

Hello! I was wondering if i could use this in a youtube video i am making, (we will give you 100% credit of course) and we are not monetizing our videos.
Youtube channel is; The Expeditioner's Discovery Guild, if you were wondering

I'm so sorry for answering so very late, I see you used the image, it's all right, all I have here, as long as credit is given, can be used by others without problems.
Your channel seems interesting, you got another sub.

Very cool. One of my favorite prehistoric mammals. Although I do miss when it was named dinohyus, much more fearsome.

Essentially a terrestrial, predatory hippo, scary!

this isn't a very important question but
how fast do you think daeodon could run?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I suppose as fast as a bison or buffalo given their similar body size and length and proportions of their hind legs, so about 50-60km/h (assuming the reported speeds for bison and buffalo are accurate).

I guess it could have hunted from time to time then.

As a big entelodont fan, I must ask, any estimates for how much this specimen would have weighed in life?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not aware of any in the literature, I've seen guesstimates of ~900kg based on similar head-body length and shoulder height to bison of that weight but I think the longer legs and much bigger head of Daeodon inflate such measurements when compared to a bison, anyway that's probably a decent upper bound.

Alright thanks. Kind of a pitty that there are no professional estimates out there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Is this the accurate one ? Mostly it is mentioned as 6 ft at shoulders but few comparison images shows it as 7 ft.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Shoulder height and proportions are about right, the height of the mounted skeleton is similar too (177cm according to Peterson 1909), the only possibly bigger specimens known are teeth but there's enough variation that they are probably not good enough to estimate the body size of their owners with certainty.

haha I don't think I'm that great but I try my best, thanks!

Awesome skeletal! We need more mammal skeletals out there, and especially cool ones like Daeodon!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! haha and yes extinct mammals skeletals out there are just a handful compared to those of dinosaurs.

Can you do an Archaeotherium skeletal? I need one for an illustration I'll be doing soon (I'll give you credit of course).

I'm afraid I can't in the near future but I hope this can be of help biodiversitylibrary.org/page/3…
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That'll do, thanks! Also, what will your next skeletal be?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm currently updating the ones that are already up but next it'll probably be Arctotherium angustidens but only because it'll be heavily based on Arctodus, after that, I'm not really sure, maybe Sebecus.

Once again, amazing job! That human better run...

Impresionante, por cierto ¿este es el mayor entre los entelodóntidos?

Así es, aunque hay ciertos dientes fosiles asignados a Paraentelodon, Entelodon y Neontelodon (
