Steppe Dylanus

A steppe dylanus (Dylanus priscus) is an extinct species of dylanus that lived throughout Eurasia and North America during the Pleistocene. It was most likely an omnivore due to its teeth design and jawbones indicating that it feed on some meat, not just fruits, leaves, or bulbs. It was 3.8% larger than a modern day American common dylanus or its domesticated descendant as one of the fossilized steppe dylanus femur suggests. It is unknown why the steppe dylanus became extinct, but it may have been due to competition for food from humans.
