    Haha! I totally wouldn't have got it but for the thread lead to me to look up the False Killer Whale on wiki, the teeth looked about right so I thought it was worth a shot :D

    Okay, one of you will probably get this straight away I'm sure:

    A very easy extinct one.

    I wouldn't be so sure. :D I think I can picture it from Walking With Beasts but I have no idea of the name. I seem to recall it being rather large and bulky, similar build to a rhino?

    It is correct. The one I posted is likely Estemmenosuchus mirabilis. Your turn :>

    The square shape too... mustelids have long skulls but not this square....

    It looks like an Eptesicus bat now that I think about it, but don´t ask me for species XD
