Entelodont

/ˌɛn.təˈloʊ.dɑnt/ noun

Definition

A member of the extinct family Entelodontidae, large omnivorous mammals that roamed the Northern Hemisphere during the Oligocene epoch.

Etymology

From the genus Entelodon, derived from Greek 'enteles' (complete, perfect) referring to complete teeth, plus '-odont' from 'odous' meaning tooth. These animals are classified as artiodactyls, the same group that includes modern pigs and deer.

Kelly Says

Despite their pig-like appearance, entelodonts had skulls with bizarre bone knobs and crests that might have been used for fighting or displaying dominance—imagine a modern pig with a linebacker's shoulders and a rhino's attitude.
