Description

Andrewsarchus, an extinct creature of the Eocene period, was possibly the largest carnivorous land mammal ever, known only from a single fossil skull found in Mongolia. Initially, it was believed to be a type of mesonychid, however recent studies have indicated it may have been an artiodactyl, making it related to entelodonts, which would give it a more boar like structure with a head much larger in proportion to it's body.

I've seen this animal often depicted as wolf-like in appearance, but I decided, for mine, to build it up a bit more like a monstrous wild boar. I put him at the beach as its been postulated that andrewsarchus used its large teeth to break the shells of sea turtles for food.
