On 23 July 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved to Entelodontidae. The result of the discussion was Moved. |
Why does "Entelodon" redirect here? "Entelodon" and "entelodont" are different! Entelodont is a group of animals that Entelodon belongs to, while Entelodon is a kind of animal! Dora Nichov 04:07, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Good point. ""Entelodon"" is actually a subjective synonym of ""Archaeotherum"" and should redirect to that genus, whereas entelodont is a common name for the family Entelodontidae. Entelodont 03:32, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
I want to test if this is still a problem. Please click on these links: Entelodon, Entelodont. Chrisrus ( talk) 04:10, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
In general though, they were probably too smelly and too noisy to have made good predators on fast plains mammals How can one know this from fossil evidence, of corse an analysis with modern genera is purely speculative. A good citation for this is needed along with the rest of the article. Enlil Ninlil 07:09, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
The references seems to have been copies by the writer, so must be rewriten. Enlil Ninlil 07:16, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Wait a minute here. With the exception of "Walking With" and some paleontology manuals from 1923, who still call entelodonts 'Elotherids', I have never seen anyone say they're basically overgrown, stinky warthogs. There is evidence from the Badlands that Archaeotherium was a vicious predator, and bones at Agate Fossil beds show Daeodon tooth marks in Moropus bones. Chrisrus

What evidence supports the argument that entelodonts are more related to hippo and cetaceans than to pigs? No theory is without evidence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.117.14.169 ( talk) 21:09, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Entelodont → Entelodontidae – Taxonomic fossil families pages like that of the Entelodontidae should be named by family names and not "common" taxonomic names, similar to other pages such as the Anthracotheriidae. PrimalMustelid ( talk) 21:38, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
