Spanish scientists have identified a new species of amphicyonid, named Paludocyon moyasolai, from a skull unearthed in Catalonia, dating back 15.9 million years. This medium-sized predator, resembling a bear-dog, lived in a tropical lagoon environment and had a varied diet. The discovery contributes to the understanding of Miocene carnivore communities on the Iberian Peninsula and the evolutionary history of this group.
