Classification
Lophocyonidae was previously treated as a subfamily of Hyaenidae, Procyonidae, or Viverridae, but Morales et al. (2019) recognized it as a distinct family in its own right. Distinguishing features of lophocyonids include the molarization of the anterior premolars (P3 and p4), the lophodont adaptation of the molar dentition and the complex morphology of the incisors.[2]

gollark: There are some CC/OC programs for that.
gollark: I think half the power output is going just on keeping our stuff stored and accessible.
gollark: That takes lots of RF. We only have a single RTG, solar panel, and tree oil setup (which can do 120RF/t *peak*, but probably only 20 sustained).
gollark: We don't have Mekanism, but I assume you mean "automining in general".
gollark: "Very expensive" = "we literally cannot build even the electromagnetic containment with currently available resources"
