Hyaenodontidae
Hyaenodontidae (superorder Ferae, order Creodonta) An extinct family of carnivorous mammals that appeared early in the
Eocene and flourished throughout most of the
Tertiary. They were slimly built, with elongated jaws; probably they possessed claws, and many had well-developed
carnassials, differing from those of modern carnivores in being formed from the first or second
molars of upper and lower jaws (rather than from the upper
premolar and lower molar). Some forms (e.g.
Machaeroides and
Apataelurus) had jaws similar to those of the later sabretoothed cats. Hyaenodonts ranged in size from animals the size of a weasel to some large enough to have preyed on large herbivores.
