| During this period all hypercarnivorous forms disappeared from the fossil record, including hypercarnivorous canids and mustelids, in addition to feliforms. |

| It is useful to reiterate that the canids mentioned above also tend toward minimal sexual dimorphism and facultative monogamy. |
| Of further interest, these canids also tend toward facultative monogamy and toward minimal sexual dimorphism. |
