lestanin Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 need some help identifying this, im pretty good with extant species but this stumped me. just purchased and has yet to come in the mail. seller didnt include any information except that it was a miocene hyena and these pictures. i know this is super vague, so no worries if we cant identify it i was told it could be a percrocuta, it measures 7-8 inches, 17-20 centimeters long i will be able to describe more when i receive it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
