Hyaenodon (Mojö Fun) vs  Andrewsarchus (CollectA), Prehistoric Life Toob (Safari Ltd)

Great figures! The CollectA Andrewsarchus is one of my favorites, and is a very good representation of the species. However, I believe that Andrewsarchus has been reclassified as a member of Artiodactyla, based on recent studies. I'm no expert, but the original classification of Mesonychid (subsequently in Creodonta) was based upon the original publications by Andrewsarchus' discoverer, but it shows no actual signs of being a mesonychid.

Congratulations on your collectible figures, the Collecta andrewsarchus is one of the best creodon figures ever made and the Mojo hyaenodon is an outstanding figure and I hope that in the future Mojo will continue to make prehistoric mammal figures. Furthermore the Safari andrewsarchus (thumbnail) is an almost exact copy of its oversized counterpart which is another remarkable figure.

Yeah Andrewsarchus is no longer a creodont and hasn't been for a while iirc.

Andrewsarchus was until recently considered a Mesonychid--a group that was lumped as part of the condylarths.

But last I saw, Andrewsarchus has been identified as...an entelodont? Or something similar. At the very least somehow part of the artiodactyla.

A @austrosaurus The Andrewsarchus is of the Artiodactyla order while the Hyaenodon is of the Creodont order. I just found out through the internet search engine, I recognize that I am illiterate from the point of view of knowledge about biology and paleontology. Thanks for the correction, if you had not told me before I would have continued to believe that the andrewsarchus belonged to the creodont order.
