Entelodon

Typically Entelodonts are reconstructed with heads similar to modern pigs, with there bones pointing out, which resemble warts.

But hippos have a similar skull shape to entelodont, with those bones sticking out.

But hippos don’t have wart-like structures from bones sticking out, their heads look like this.

And entelodonts were more closely related to hippos than pigs, so how do we know that they didn’t just have heads like hippos?

Snowstalker = Smilodon

(Panthera leo considered)

Cryptile = Euparkeria

(Petrolacosaurus considered)

Gannetwhale = Hesperornis

Shagrat = Woolly Mammoth

(Placerias, Megaloceros, Scutosaurus, Macrauchenia considered)

Gryken = Therocephalian

Scrofa = Entelodont

(Megaloceros, Propalaeotherium considered)

What are your thought? Which animals would have been better comparisons?

I haven’t made an animation on sticknodes in a long time, so I made a poll on my yt channel asking which animation I should make, the winner of the poll was Barinasuchus vs Entelodon.

(thumbnail I made on sticknodes)

I decided that I should change the style of this animation, such as changing the animation FPS since many of my older ones felt too fast-paced.

Feel free to make a plot for the Barinasuchus vs Entelodon animation in the comments, I’ll probably combine some of the requests in the comments while making the animation.

Here are a few things I wanted to point out *low quality* I'm not even mentioning what they did before this.

Spino survives this

Spino survives getting burned by lava

Spino's leg actually survives this

Spino can deflect lava balls (so does the rex)

H o w

Spino survives all of this.
