  • Cynodesmus
rdfs:comment
  • Harvey Cutter, who had traveled back ten million years to Miocene Miocene to capture live specimens of primates for the San Diego Cenozoic Zoo, observed a pack of Cynodesmus hunt and bring down a Diceratherium.
  • Cynodesmus was one of the first canids to truly look dog-like. At around 1 metre (3.3 ft) in length, it was about the same size as a modern coyote, but had a shorter skull, heavier tail, and longer rump. The shape of its limbs suggests that Cynodesmus was not a very good runner compared to most other canids; it probably attacked prey from an ambush. Unlike modern dogs, it had five toes on each foot, bearing partially retractable claws
