Didelphodon (name meaning "Opossum Tooth") is a genus of stagodont metatherians that originated during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now North America. Although the size is small, it was the largest mammal in the Mesozoic Era. However, this primitive, badger-sized mammal lived in the world that was dominated by the dinosaurs.
In the Series 2 finale "Death of a Dynasty II: The Return of the King", several pairs of Didelphodon were brought to the park from Late Cretaceous Montana, 65 million years ago. They reside in the Underground Hotel Enclosure.
