Allohyaena is an extinct genus of hyaenids that lived in Europe and Turkey during the Late Miocene.[1][2] Like most modern hyaenids, Allohyaena had durophagous adaptations to support the consumption of bones.[3]
Taxonomy
[edit]Allohyaena was erected by Kretzoi in 1938, with A. kadici as the type species.[2] Dinocrocuta minor from Turkey was described by Ozansoy in 1965[4] and later reassigned to Allohyaena as A. minor.[5] A. sarmatica was described by Semenov in 1994.[6]
