What are Creodonts?
Creodonts are an extinct group of carnivorous mammals that thrived from the Paleocene to the Miocene epochs, roughly 65 million to 9 million years ago. They were once the dominant carnivorous mammals before being largely replaced by modern carnivores like cats and dogs. Creodonts exhibited a wide range of sizes and adaptations, with some having specialized teeth for different dietary needs. Notable examples include the genera Hyaenodon and Metatherium, showcasing their diverse evolutionary paths.
Why did carnivora outcompete mesonychia and creodonta?
Mesonychids:There were two main disadvantages as concerns Mesonychids against both Carnivores and Creodonts. First, Mesonychids were generalized hunters making them less capable in any specific habitat and affording that benefit to Carnivores and Creodonts. Second, Mesonychids were generally larger than Carnivores and Creodonts and required more food to sustain them. As a result, they were out-competed.Creodonts:Creodonts share some benefits with Carnivores like binocular vision, claws, and shearing carnassial teeth. Some species even had more bite force than carnivores, but they had two distinct disadvantages. They were neither as fast or as efficiently designed as Carnivores. They also lacked the raw intelligence that Carnivores had, allowing Carnivores to hunt in packs and establish social relationships. Additionally, Carinvore intelligence led to more advanced hunting procedures and "hand-eye" coordination.

What kind of animals were roaming around in Cenoeioic?
Not Extinct Through out the Cenozoic era, the oceans were home to nearly the same invertebrate animals as today. Foraminifera were common as well. Sponges, coral, starfish, seaurchens, and sand dollars were common as well Brachiopods and cephalopods were rare. Mollusksclams, oysters, mussels, and snails- thrived through out the era. Crabs and barnacles were common as well. A land, the spiders, centipedes, scorpions, and insects continued to thrive. Insects including butterflies, moths, bees, wasps, ants, beetles, and many others. Most Cenozoic fish were like that of late Mesozoic time. Sharks and rays were abundant and gigantic. Some sharks were 20 meters long with jaws nearly 2 meters wide. Amphibians, such as frogs, toads, and salamanders, were about as common as they are now. The reptiles-turtles, lizards, snake, and crocodiles- resemble those of today. Birds developed that were similar to those of today. At times, there were many large, flightless, ostrich like types. Some were three meters tall. Extinct Creodonts, oreodons an early grazing animal that resembles a deer, the mastodon a kind of gigantic elephant, brontotherium a gigantic rhino like animal, blachitherium rhino like animal , armadillo a gigantic sloth like animal.
