Eons: The Forgotten Story of the Bear-Dogs

An illustration of a Daphoenus Demilo.

Due to their strange combination of bear-like and dog-like traits, these amphicyonids are often colloquially referred to as "bear-dogs." They are closely related to true dogs and a little less related to bears. However, these animals are key to understanding the history of an important branch of the mammal family tree. Part of the "Eons" series.
