Amphicyon (SciiFii)

The bear dog (Amphicyon communis, name meaning "common ambiguous dog") is a species of large carnivorous bone-crushing mammal of the family Amphicyonidae, belonging to a subfamily, Amphicyoninae, which originally lived from Eurasia, Africa, and North America the Burdigalian Epoch until the late Pliocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the forests, open woodlands, grasslands, and shrublands across Eurasia, Africa, and North America to help boost biodiversity. The bear dog is named for its bear-like and dog-like features, including a robust build and its flat-footed locomotion like (advanced, including native modern species of) bears, and the a large heavy tail, thick neck, robust limbs, and strong teeth like a dog. It is one of the largest species of its family, with a maximum length of about 8 feet (2.5 meters) long, including the tail, and weighing between 600 kg (1,300 lb) and 630 kilograms (1,4000 lb). It is an omnivore in a manner similar to bears, including brown bears, feeding on fruits and tubers at times, but it primarily feed on many prey animals such as bovines and deer. It has characteristics of both ambush and pursuit living predators, so it pursues prey for longer distances but at slower speeds than most ambush predators do. Upon catching up to its prey, it grabs its victims with its powerfully muscled forelimbs before killing them by tearing into the prey's ribcage or neck using its large, strong canines set in its narrow snout. Unlike canines, bear dogs are solitary animals that spend throughout most of their entire lives alone except during the breeding seasons. The conservation status of the bear dog is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the bear dog's wide range and its tolerance to most of the human activities.
