Description
I always keep assuming Lycaenops was small, but after seeing this skull, I'll never make that assumption ever again. It makes a wolf snout look like a chew toy.Related content

That actually makes it clear Lycaenops was NOT a small mesopredator but a full-on large top predator....

I thought it was small for some reason...

Probably because books often make it out as being smaller.

Yeah. If you want a good size comparison, this enormous 125 lb wolf named Kekoa is about the same length and weight as a Lycaenops:Ā www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr8E-Vā¦

Agreed. If you think that is big, look at the skull of the gorgonopsid Rubidgea.

I mean... is that even fair? I think even a polar bear would pale in comparison with a gorgonopsid...
*googles* Oh, i see, it's a smaller one. Big or not, I still would want to be on the recieving end of those teeth
that wolf looked very cuddly though. Ā

Agreed. Those teeth are terrible weapons.

And yes, Kekoa the wolf (my gorgon comparison) is a cuddly boy. He's actually very sweet natured and has a most interesting backstory.

He definitely looked like an absolute sweetheart. (I'm a dog person) :-D

Kekoa most certainly is a love bug; even more so than his sister, Sakara. He was also the only wolf at his sanctuary to have pups (his daughter and former mate also live there, too).
