Cynodon Aymard, 1848 Amphicynodon was an extinct genus of caniform carnivore.

It has traditionally been considered an early bear,[1] although recent evidence has suggested it may be a unique member linked to other pinnipeds.

[citation needed] It was endemic to Europe and Asia during the Oligocene, from approximately 33.9—28.4 Mya and existing for approximately 6 million years.

It was similar in size to early mustelids.
