The Forgotten Story of the Beardogs

PBS Member Stations rely on viewers like you. To support your local station, go to to.pbs.org/DonateEons
↓ More info below ↓
Because of their strange combination of bear-like and dog-like traits, they’re sometimes confusingly called the beardogs. And even though you’ve never met one of these animals, the beardogs are key to understanding the history of an important branch of the mammal family tree.
Thanks to Ceri Thomas ( / alphynix ) and Julio Lacerda
( / juliotheartist ) for the excellent beardog illustrations!

[@natodomerilion5392]

The Natodomeri lion was massive. It could have been equivalent to the largest individuals of the aforementioned lions in your comment. And since this is the only specimen there may have been even larger specimens.

[@biggay8140]

The Natodomeri lion had a minimum estimate for the basal length. The basal length being about 20-30mm shorter than the condylobasal basal length. This would give us a 405mm average length of the condylobasal skull. The greatest length however is even greater than the condylobasal skull length and so the total skull length may have been over 450mm. Making it about as big or bigger than the american or mosbach lion. Thanks for big lil for the info.

I absolutely love Amphicyons and I think they are a bit underrated. They outcompeted not only hyaenodonts but also entelodonts , famous terminator pigs - big beasts from Oligocene and early Miocene.

It is so sad that they dissappeared.

All mammals and humans have a common ancestor

[@OsirisLord]

All carnivorans are related.

[@glenbe4026]

Carnivorans are split into two family groups. The Feliforms (Cats, Mongoose, Civets) and the Caniforms (Canines [Dogs/Wolves/Foxes], Bears, Mustelids [Weasles/Otters/Wolverine], Skunks, Raccoons, Red Pandas, Seals/Walruses). So yes, a seal is more closely related to your dog than a cat.

[@rickseiden1]

Of course, all of you are correct, but I meant more closely related than just having some mammalian ancestor, or belonging in the same group of Caniforms. I look at them and think they have to be close cousins of a sort. Related by, say arbitrarily, 1,000,000 years instead of 75,000,000 years. I don't know how to explain it, I guess. Like, humans and mice, both mammals, are related. We have some common ancestor. Humans and chimpanzees are also related with some common ancestor. The common ancestor of humans and chips is much closer to us than the common ancestor of humans and mice. I feel like the common ancestor of dogs and bears is very close to them. Maybe I should have said that I've always that dogs and bears have to be very closely related.

Galloanserae the group including all "fowl" birds both water and ground split off from other dino lineages 99 Mya or so and both kept a low profile in their preferred habitats while nesting on the ground and thus survived the mass extinction so that ought to count for something. Their groups are quite diverse but they do seem relatively "stuck" to the same body plan and general niches and thus not as versatile as the big winner among dinosaurs the Neoaves But hey at least fowl have maintained a far higher diversity than the other bird lineage the Paleognathae which were primed to evolve into long lived megafauna which humans butchered....
