    “…Although Simbakubwa translates to “big lion” in Swahili, this behemoth was not a big cat. Instead, it is the oldest known member in a group of extinct mammals called hyaenodonts, so named due to their dental resemblance to hyenas, even though the groups are also unrelated…”

    Well. See, thats dum.

    I shall call it Hyaenodonticus Rex.

    I wonder if they traveled in packs. That would be like somethin out of Lord of the Rings if they did. Not somethin you’d wanna see comin over the hill.

    I hope they can bring em back to life. Make mammals great again.
