Paraentelodon
Paraentelodon intermedium is an extinct entelodont from the Late Oligocene of Asia.
It was very similar in size and form to the giant entelodont, Daeodon, of early Miocene North America. Some researchers suggest that it was either ancestral to, or shared an ancestor with Daeodon. As with other entelodonts, it was an omnivore that had large teeth that enabled it to crush bone and dig for tubers like its North American cousins.Taxonomy
Paraentelodon was named by Gabunia. It was assigned to Entelodontidae by Carroll.
