Enhydrocyon is an extinct genus of bone crushing canid which inhabited North America during the Oligocene and Early Miocene, 30.8—20.4 Ma, existing for approximately 11 million years. Enhydrocyon's dentition suggests this animal was a hypercarnivore or mesocarnivore. Species of Enhydrocyon were relatively large, powerfully built carnivores with a short snout and deep jaws reminiscent of a jaguar. These features give the skull a shape resembling that of the extant sea otter (Enhydra), prompting the scientific name. With an estimated weight of about 10 kilograms (22 lb), this was the earliest genus of canid adapted to be specialized predators.

- Enhydrocyon — вымерший род псовых из вымершего семейства Hesperocyoninae, населявший Северную Америку в олигоцене и раннем миоцене, 30,8-20,4 млн лет назад, просуществовавший примерно 11 миллионов лет. Строение зубов этих животных свидетельствует, что они были хищниками, чей рацион состоял из мяса от 50 до более чем 70 %. Они были относительно крупными хищниками мощного телосложения с короткой мордой и мощными челюстями. Их черепа по форме напоминали череп современного калана (Enhydra), что послужило основанием для научного названия. При предполагаемом весе около 10 килограммов это был самый ранний род псовых, приспособленный к роли специализированных хищников. (ru)
