Didelphodon

==Summary==
Didelphodon is a genus of stagodont metatherians, a group that includes marsupials and their relatives. It's name means, "possum tooth." It had a high bite force relative to its body size, indicating a durophagous diet, acting as a predator to small shelled animals and vertebrates, and a scavenger feeding on carrion.Wilson, G.P.; Ekdale, E.G.; Hoganson, J.W.; Calede, J.J.; Linden, A.V. (2016). "A large carnivorous mammal from the Late Cretaceous and the North American origin of marsupials". Nature Communications. 7: 13734. Bibcode:2016NatCo...713734W. doi:10.1038/ncomms13734. PMC 5155139. PMID 27929063. Studies also indicate that it may have been semi-aquatic. It lived in North America around 73–66 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous.
