Metatomarctus is an extinct genus of the Borophaginae subfamily of canids native to North America. It lived during the Early to Middle Miocene, 23–16 Mya, existing for approximately 7 million years[1] It was an intermediate-size canid, and more predaceous than earlier borophagines.[2]
It hunted in packs,[citation needed] like modern canines, and may have preyed upon creatures such as Equus, rodents, and other smaller prey.[citation needed]
