This reminds me of thylacoleo actually, with the size, build, and adapted inner claw.

The fact that these animals depend on their strong arms instead of their feeble jaws seems to me to be very realistic. Good ol' raccoon-lion-bears.

Thanks! My granddad had a friend who had two tame raccoons when I was a kid, and I remember being very impressed with how strong the little hands are - they kept trying to pull the little decorations off my sandals.

Interesting. Were you inspired by the marsupial lion (Thylacoleo carnifex)? It's style of killing was extremely similar to that of the Lateovul.

I don't recall specifically but that was probably floating around in the mix, yes.

I had always found Procionids as one of the group of carnivores that could eventually evolve in the future into dominant macropredators, I quite like the desing of this one tough I think that the whole killer jaw and small skull size are a kinda weird combo...

They're very adaptable critters, raccoons. And yeah, this drawing is quite old and I really need to do an updated version :/

I could see this evolving into a sapient with a vulture similar to that of the native Americans!

I and a few others recently started a speculative evolution forum called Saecula Novae , and have been looking for image banners. We were wondering if you would find having this image used in a composite acceptable.

Well, it's a pretty old and terrible painting.

Okay. Are there any future evolution paintings you did that you would be willing to let us use, and that you feel are of superior quality?

The river cats seems pretty popular with commenters.

I always thought raccoons would make an excellent top predator.

Do they fill the niches of bears?

Evolution isn't always just about filling niches.

what is that deer like animal?

It evolved from goats, like most Caranoctian hooved animals.

Very cool concept, I like the animal combination's used for this creature concept, the large bear-like for, raccoon coloration in the coat, and the large talons on the front feet.
