Stylinodon is an extinct genus of mammal.
The 1.30 m (4 ft 4 in) long creature had an aardvark-like body and a pig-like snout. Its canines had developed into huge, incisor-like root-less teeth. Stylinodon's molars were covered in enamel and continued growing throughout its life. Most likely, it fed on rough roots and tubers.
