Eomellivora is anextinct genus of prehistoricmustelids, closely related to thehoney badger, known fromEurasia andNorth America, and tentativelyAfrica. It was one of the biggest mustelids ever known, bigger and more hypercarnivorous than the modernwolverine.^[1]

Taxonomy

[edit]

Eomellivora was longthought to contain only onespecies,E. wimani, with Wolsan and Semenov (1996) treatingE. piveteaui as a youngersubspecies ofE. wimani, but new remains ofE. piveteaui described in 2015 allowed for recognition ofE. piveteaui as distinct fromE. wimani, but also treatment ofE. ursogulo (Orlov, 1948) andE. hungarica Kretzoi, 1942 from the easternParatethys region. The placement of the African speciesEomellivora tugenensis inEomellivora is tentative.^[1]^[2] The genusHadrictis Pia, 1939, described from a skull found inLate Miocene deposits inAustria, is ajunior synonym ofEomellivora.^[3]

Palaeoecology

[edit]

E. piveteaui was acursorial carnivore that consumed meat and bones.^[4]
