Thinocyon velox

Another reconstruction from very little material, so take it with a grain of salt. I used this skull photo by for reference. 

Thinocyon was a little creodont from the middle Eocene of Wyoming. Creodonts had smaller brains than modern Carnivora, and they couldn't turn their forelimbs in to grab prey and so depended entirely on their jaws, which is probably why they had heads that seem comparatively oversized.
