What is "eporeodon"

Eporeodon is an extinct genus of oreodont belonging to the subfamily Eporeodontinae during the Oligocene epoch (33.3—20.6 mya) existing for approximately .

The species of the genus are among the largest members of the family Merycoidontidae. About the size of a cow, its fossils are some of the largest found in the Badlands. It was much larger than Merycoidodon and Miniochoerus, its contemporaries in the Late Oligocene. On the other hand, Eporeodon was a rare oreodont, as its fossils only make up about one percent of all oreodont fossils found in the Badlands.
