Velocinychus

Information
Velocinychus gorgodon was a pseudocanid that lived 20 million years in the future, 15 million years after Lupomimus. Velocinychus was the apex predator of its time, taking down its prey by ambush and brute force. It had two sets of canines in its jaws, and the incisors are foward-facing and nearly fused together. Another interesting feature of this synapsid dinosaur was that its nostrils are on separste sides of its face. The nose has two separate olfactory-sensing systems, effectively giving it "3D" smell.

Design
Velocinychus gorgodon had an even longer skull than its predecessor. What was once a nose has shrunk into two cresr-like nasal passageways. Combined with the prominent brow bones, these suggest a convergent evolution to Ceratosaurus. The fur of Velocinychus has receded to the back of its skull, while a patch of fur on the elbow has since elongated. This area of fur was used as a mating display, and this may have been similar to how the predatory dinosaurs of the Mesozoic have evolved the first feathers.

Velocinychus gorgodon grew to approximately five feet at the shoulder, growing taller than its ancestors.
