Hibogibbus

Hibogibbus (name meaning weird cheeks for its bony potrudes that sticked out of its cheeks) is an extinct species of dylanusid that was native to African savannas and forests. They came in three species, Hibogibbus Africanus, Hibogibbus Burchellsi, and Hibogibbus robustus. Its teeth suggests it was mostly an omnivore that mainly fed on fruits, roots, tubers, insects, fish, small frogs, small reptiles, eggs, and smaller mammals. It resembled a hybrid between a modern American common dylanus and the American killer dylanus, but with bony structures sticking out of its cheeks. It was among the most common mammals of Africa during the Miocene, Pliocene, and early Pleistocene. They became extinct in 1.2 million years ago, and it may have been caused by climate changes due to global cooling.
