This Amphicyon got lucky! It's prey, a large male Oncorhynchus rastrosus already spawned and was in the process of dying.
Oncorhynchus rastrosus
first art of 2025 is a fish! starting off strong a female Oncorhynchus rastrosus, the spike-toothed salmon. it's commonly misrepresented as a massive sockeye salmon with tusks slapped on, but we know that they didnt undergo any drastic levels of sexually dimorphic remodelling
for those who wonder what males look like, the majority of the dimorphism isnt noticeable as the it's present in internal skull bones and minor proportional differences, however, one way to tell is males only have one dentary tooth and lack the smaller additional premaxillary one

Mexican Golden Trout Oncorhynchus chrysogaster
The species is endemic to high-elevation headwaters of the Fuerte River, Sinaloa River, and Culiacán River drainages in the Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico. Mexican golden trout are limited to small streams created by small cienegas (spring-fed marshes) above 5,000 feet.
Can a new genetic discovery save the king of salmon before it's too late?
I wanted to bring to your attention this excellent documentary on spring Chinook salmon. They're one of the most endangered of the Pacific salmonids, and they face a variety of threats, from dams to climate change. They also have unique behaviors and traits that set them apart from other salmon, and recent genetic research shows that they're different even down to the level of their DNA.
It's only an hour long, and very well done; if you aren't able to just sit and focus on something for that long, it's good either watched in bite-sized chunks, or having on in the background while you do chores, art, etc. And while it does highlight some distressing realities, it leaves on a hopeful note, IMO.
1: A newborn salmon chimera takes a rest after using a keratinized sheath on its snout analogous to an egg tooth to break free from one of the hundreds of eggs laid on the stream bed. At this point its limbs cannot even extend past its yolk sac, which incidentally makes for a perfect cushion. Newborns primarily use their strong tails to propel themselves through the water, and eventually develop their leg muscles as they hunt the stream beds for aquatic insects and mollusks.
2: A chum salmon chimera male brings one of its developing young to the surface to force it to learn to breath air for the first time. The vast majority of their several hundreds of offspring are predated upon within the first month, but mortality greatly decreases as they grow and the parents become more protective of individuals rather than the general vicinity.
