Amphicyon major

Amphicyon major (Amphicyon major Blainville,1841)

 

Order: Carnivora

Family: Amphicyonidae

Dimensions: length - 1,8 m, height - 100 сm, weight - 180 kg

Temporal range: during the Late Miocene (Eurasia)

 

Amphicyon ("ambiguous dog") is an extinct genus of large carnivorous bone-crushing mammals, known as bear-dogs, of the family Amphicyonidae, subfamily Amphicyoninae, from the Aquitanian Epoch until the Tortonian. They ranged over North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa from 20.6—9 Ma ago, existing approximately 11.6 million years. Amphicyon was the typical bear-dog amphicyonid with morphology similar to both bears and dogs. With its robust build and maximum length of 2.5 m, 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. It was probably an omnivore with a lifestyle comparable to that of the brown bear. Amphicyon major lived from 16.9–9.0 Ma, approximately 7.9 million years. Specimens have been found in across Europe and in western Turkey.

Реконструкция "майора" обалденная - упаси вас бог на той тропинке в одном коллаже с ним оказаться, как ЖИВОЙ! А вот как любитель ископаемой "свинины" попрошу не только ньянзахоеруса, но и бивнеподобного как мастодонт, метридиохоеруса (Metridiochoerus) воскресить на этом сайте - он тоже, кажется, "африканец"...
