Harpagolestes (SciiFii)

The hyena pig (Harpagolestes hyaena), also known as the hyena sheep, is a species of mesonychid mesonychian mammal that originally lived in the Middle to Late Eocene China and North America as an extinct species of Harpagolestes and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced to the modern rainforests, wetlands, forests, and open woodlands of Eurasia and North America to help boost biodiversity. The hyena pig exhibits strong, curved canine teeth, a deep lower jaw, massive skull, heavy wear on the molars, and stout limbs. The hyena pig is carnivorous, primarily a scavenger and usually does not pursue its prey, and with its strong jaws, it is able to regularly crack bones. The hyena pig is a very large member of its group, growing up to about 6.8 feet (2.1 meters) in length, 3.2 feet (100 cm) in shoulder height, ans weighing around 250 kg on average. The hyena pig is a rather solitary animal that prefers to live most of its life alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the hyena pig is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the hyena pig's wide range.
