Amphicyonidae, also known as "bear-dogs", is an extinct family of terrestrial carnivorans belonging to the suborder Caniformia. They first appeared in North America in the middle Eocene (around 42 Ma), spread to Europe by the late Eocene (35 Ma), and further spread to Asia and Africa by the early Miocene (23 Ma). Amphicyonids were among the first lineages of carnivorans to reach large body sizes. The family had largely disappeared worldwide by the late Miocene (9-7 Ma), with the latest recorded species at the end of the Miocene in Africa. The extinction of the family was thought to have been due to competition with other carnivoran families such as ursids, hyaenids, and canids.
