Tomarctus is a canid genus of the extinct subfamily Borophaginae which inhabited most of North America during the late Early Miocene to the Early Barstovian age of the Middle Miocene (23—16 million years ago). Tomarctus existed for approximately 6.83 million years. This animal shared a period and ecology with a variety of bear dogs, giant mustelid genera, and the genus of bone-crushing Canidae, Cynarctoides. As the bear dogs and giant mustelids became extinct, Tomarctus were a hyena-like fruit-eating canidae.

  • Tomarctus je dávno vymřelý druh psovité šelmy z podčeledi Borophaginae. Žil v období raného až středního miocénu, asi před 23 až 13 miliony let. V současnosti jsou rozeznávány dva druhy tohoto rodu, Tomarctus brevirostris a Tomarctus hippophaga (popsán roku 1909). Fosilie této dávné šelmy byly objeveny na mnoha místech Severní a Střední Ameriky, od Panamy na jihu až po Kanadu na severu. Šlo zřejmě o predátory, schopné drtit silnými čelistmi kosti své kořisti a přitom se živit příležitostně i ovocem nebo částmi rostlin. (cs)

  • De Tomarctus is een uitgestorven hondachtige uit de onderfamilie Borophaginae. Het geslacht omvat twee soorten, T. brevirostris en T. hippophaga, die in het Mioceen op het Amerikaanse continent leefden. In tegenstelling tot de latere borophaginen, die aaseters waren, was Tomarctus vermoedelijk een actieve jager. Fossielen van Tomarctus zijn gevonden in Panama, Mexico, de Verenigde Staten en Canada.

  • Tomarctus är ett numera utdött djur som fanns i Nordamerika för cirka 10 miljoner år sedan. Tomarctus liknade en hund och kan eventuellt vara ursprunget till alla numera levande hunddjur. Den hade specialiserade huggtänder och förmåga att förfölja och fälla bytesdjur. (sv)
