Wow! It is certainly small. It probably was a good food source for some of the bigger creatures, right? !Tip

It was one of the smallest meat eaters of the time. The saber cats and hell pigs for sure would have snacked on them if they could. Most likely, these little guys were pack animals, similar to wild dogs in Africa or wolves. This would have helped them a bit when it came to not becoming someone else's lunch. Thanks for the Tip!
