Hemicyon (SciiFii)

The common dog-bear (Hemicyon canidonta) is a dog-like species of hemicyonine bear, which originally lived in Eurasia and North America during the Miocene epoch (15.97 to 12.75 million years ago), existing for approximately 16 to 13 mya, as an extinct species of Hemicyon and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced throughout the wetlands, forests, and open woodlands across Eurasia and North America to help boost biodiversity. Hemicyonid bears, including the common dog-bears, should not be confused with Amphicyonids (bear-dogs), which are their own separate family of carnivores. The common dog-bear is about 1.5 metres (5 ft) long, and 70 centimetres (28 inches) tall, with somewhat tiger-like proportions and carnassal blades on its teeth for cutting meat. The common dog-bear is hypercarnivorous and highly predaceous. Unlike most bears, the common dog-bear walks on its toes; it is not plantigrade, but digitigrade, with long metapodials, which allows the common dog-bear to be an active hunter and a good runner, and hunts by pursuing prey on open ground. In life, the common dog-bear resembles a combination of a dog and a bear. The common dog-bear is either a solitary animal that lives alone or lives in pairs that mate for life. The conservation status of the common dog-bear is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the common dog-bear's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
