Phobotherium trachyops
While artiodactyls are generally thought to be a herbivorous clade, this is more of a guideline than a rule. Occasional carnivory is present across the clade, but at least two groups of artiodactyls, suids and hippopotamids, regularly eat meat as well as plant matter. One major lineage, Cetacea, is exclusively carnivorous. It is therefore not implausible that more carnivorous artiodactyls will evolve in the future.
Phobotherium is descended from wild boar, which prospered both during and after the Holocene. In the wake of larger carnivorans such as bears and big cats, millions of years of evolution have honed these hogs from aggressive generalists to apex predators, with a shoulder height of two meters. Individuals patrol large territories, up to hundreds of square miles, and, with the exception of mothers and juveniles, generally do not tolerate each other; most of the face is bare and rugose, and older individuals often bear scars from intraspecific fights. Phobotherium bears large tusks inherited from their suid ancestors, originally evolved for intraspecific conflict; here, they have been exapted to also inflict wounds on prey organisms. Phobotherium preys upon medium-to-large herbivorous mammals, such as bovids, cervids, procyonids, and other suids.
