This is a fascinating and well-illustrated info poster about the Hell Pig — specifically Daeodon shoshonensis, a now-extinct entelodont, often dubbed the “Terminator Pig” or “Hell Pig” due to its terrifying appearance and reputation.

Here’s a breakdown of the image and what it presents:

🔥 HELL PIG – Daeodon shoshonensis:

• 🐗 Type: Entelodont – an extinct family of pig-like omnivores.

• 🌍 Location: North America

• 🕰️ Era: Lived from the middle Eocene to early Miocene (about 49–16 million years ago).
  

🧬 Key Features:

• Size: Could grow up to 6 feet at the shoulder and weigh up to 1,000 pounds.

• Jaws & Skull: Enormous heads with powerful jaws — strong enough to crush bones.

• Lumps on Skull: Possibly for jaw muscle attachment or eye protection, similar to modern warthogs.

• Diet: Omnivorous — scavenged carcasses, hunted small to medium animals, and also ate roots and plants.
  

📖 Their Story:

• Dominated prehistoric North America for nearly 30 million years.

• Top predator until faced with competition from Bear Dogs (Amphicyonids).

• Fought over prey like the small rhino Menoceras (shown for scale in the image).

🧬 Interesting Notes:

• Though Hell Pigs are not directly related to modern pigs, their bone structure is similar, hence the nickname.

• They share some ancestry with modern pigs and hippos but are truly their own branch on the evolutionary tree.
