Stylinodon ancestors to scale
Short one today,
as the graphics (Fig 1) tell the tale. Note the shrinkage of the canine (orange) and the enlargement of the incisor (dark yellow).

According to Wikipedia,
“Stylinodon is an extinct genus of taeniodont mammal, and is the best known, and last genus of taeniodonts, lived some 45 million years ago during middle Eocene in North America.”
Figure 2. Skeletal elements of Stylinodon. Note the large claws, as in Carnvora, along with the tusks.

These taxa
(Fig 1) nest between sabertoothed members of the Carnivora and the elephant + manatee clade. That’s why Stylinodon looks so strange. Perhaps think of it as a sabertooth living in swamps and changing its diet to plants.
