This Amphicyon got lucky! It's prey, a large male Oncorhynchus rastrosus already spawned and was in the process of dying.

A fossilized metapodial of an Amphicyon longiramus from Dixie County, Florida, United States. This Miocene aged bear-dog was one of the last of its kind, with the whole clade going extinct at the end of the Miocene.

Paleovember 2023, Amphicyon!

Coming from the Miocene, the members of this genus and it's family are colloquially referred to as 'bear-dogs' due to possessing traits similar to both bears and dogs, whom they were related but not ancestral to. This was a widespread genus, ranging across Europe Africa, Asia, and North America, with the largest species, A. ingens, growing up to the size of a polar bear. These were adaptable and generalist hunters, able to subsist on a wide range of foods. This initially allowed amphicyonids to outcompete an earlier group of predators, the hyaenodonts. Ironically, though, this jack-of-all-trades approach failed with the arrival of modern, more specialized carnivoran groups, including cats, dogs, bears, and hyenas.

#AWOOOOTOBER Day 17: Prehistoric (feat Riley)

 'Curse of the beardog' isn't all that evocative, which may have something to do with instances being underreported, but, in fairness, 'were-amphicyon-longiramus' is kind of a mouthful.

"And they were roommates..."

Two collabs I did a while back with my friend _Babushkah (18+ only) of our characters, Apricot and Red Velvet.

Babu's colours are so gorgeous, oh my god I love these two ;A;

Hyaenodon gigas (or sp) and Amphicyon ingens

These are my versions of these animals, created for a world-building project. Both were drawn from images of skeletons.

Hyaenodon are often depicted too closely to hyenas in my mind, since they had nothing in common with hyenas, except being named for the extant animal’s teeth, so I tried to give it a more unique appearance. I did look to striped hyenas and aardwolves (as well as African civets) for the “mane” on the back, but most of the fur, tail and body, I took from lesser carnivorans, like civets.

I made them striped, to camouflage in forests, where they hunt alone. Again, this is for my world-building project, rather than any advanced reading into palaeontology, but I did read papers on both of these species before drawing them.

The Amphicyon I find is often depicted too closely to bears. They had the long tail and flexing body of a big cat, and while more heavily built than the cats, had a completely different body shape and method of locomotion from bears, so it shouldn’t look like just a long-tailed bear.

I obviously drew from bears, wolves, and big cats like tigers, lions and Amur and snow leopards here, but the biggest inspiration was “big wolverine”. There is disagreement on whether Amphicyon was fully plantigrade like bears, so I made it half-plantigrade, looking to wolverines.

While the Hyaenodon is fearful, baring its teeth in a defensive threat, the Amphicyon is bold, running forward with its hackles and tail tip raised to intimidate.

Putting the two animals next to each other, to scale (Amphicyon 1.2 meters tall and Hyaenodon 1 meter), really shows just how huge those jaws of the Hyaenodon were, though I also think the head of the Amphicyon may be undersized (I used this skeleton to draw the outline).

I am no longer uploading to deviantART. I’ve been there for years, but no longer see the point.

I finished reading A Court of Thorns and Roses after I found it in one of those little neighborhood libraries. Got the other 2 books from the city library.

Wanted to draw Tamlin's beast form as my creature designer brain pictured it. For some reason my brain decided it had tusk-fangs like the wolves in the World of Warcraft movie, and a big ass mane. I used a bit of Smilodon and Amphicyon anatomy for the body, as "bear-like" is something both are described as, too.
