What is New Apex Carnivore Species Discovered about?

A near-complete skull of a new 30-million-year-old carnivore species, Hyaenodonta, named Bastetodon, was discovered in the Egyptian desert, revealing it as a top predator of its time. This leopard-sized mammal had sharp teeth and powerful jaws, likely preying on early mammals in the lush Fayum region. The finding also allowed researchers to reevaluate a previously discovered group of hyaenodonts, leading to the identification of a new genus, Sekhmetops.
