Amphicyon ("ambiguous dog") is an extinct genus of large carnivorous bone-crushing mammals, popularly known as bear-dogs, of the family Amphicyonidae, under the subfamily Amphicyoninae. During the early Miocene until the Pliocene.
Amphicyon was the typical bear-dog with morphology similar in resemblance to both bears and dogs. With its robust build and maximum length of 2.5 m (8 ft), the largest species looked more like a bear than a dog. It had a large heavy tail, thick neck, robust limbs and teeth like a wolf. Amphicyon was believed to have been an omnivore with a lifestyle comparable to that of the brown bear.
