Cynodictis
Cynodictis was a carnivorous mammal and member of the family Amphicyonidae, also known as the bear dogs.
Cynodictis is called a "bear dog" because it does indeed look like a cross between a bear and a dog. Fossil evidence shows that it lived in burrows. This are also genuine evolutionary relatives of the Bears and Dogs, and present their own, unique order that lived between 40 and 9 Million Years Ago. They, whilst minor predators in a world of the Entelodon and the Hyaenodon, would have been tenacious predators, hunting smaller game such as Rabbits.
