Beyond the game
The real Daeodon
It was one of the last entelodontids. The fragmentation of the specimen used to name it has complicated the comparison with other historical names of the group.
The skulls of adults could measure around 90 centimeters long. However, the fragmentary specimen used to give it its name has complicated some comparisons. An animal can be impressive and at the same time have an identification history full of revisions.
This grouping describes evolutionary relationships. Its members share ancestors; they do not form a chain in which one must turn into another.
