Artist’s renderings

The remains of this canid are rather incomplete and do not allow a reliable reconstruction of the general. The remains, however, indicate that Megacyon is similar to large canids that existed and exist today, such as the licaone and Xenocyon. Megacyon owned large and strong teeth. Mandibular branches indicate that the size of Megacyon possibly exceed the size a of wild dog.
