Pachyaena
3535Pachyaena († Pachyaena (Соре, 1874))
Order: Mesonychia
Family: Mesonychidae
Time period: Eocene of Asia and North America
Size: 2 m in length, 100 cm in height, 100-290 kg of weight
Typical representative: Pachyaena gigantea
Pachyaena was a genus of heavily built, relatively short-legged mesonychids that originated from Asia. The species ranged in size from a coyote to a bear. During the height of their influence, the species of Pachyaena, similar to those of Dissacus before them, ranged from Asia to North America. Size varied depending on the species: For P. gracilis, the body mass estimated based in femur length is 24.0 kg, for P. ossifraga is about 56.9 kg, and for the large P. gigantea is 81.7 kg. However weight estimations of P. gigantea vary from 129 to 396 kg
