Sivanasua is an extinct genus of carnivorous mammal found across Miocene Europe including Germany, Austria,[1] France, Spain and the Czech Republic.

The first fossils of Sivanasua from Attenfeld, Germany, were interpreted by Max Schlosser in 1916 as a relative of the red panda.

[3] The exact relationship between Sivanasua and other carnivorans has long been debated, with historic hypothesis placing them within Ailuridae, Procyonidae and even Hyaenodontidae.

[4] More recent analysis of the fossil material suggest that lophocyonids were feliforms most closely related to hyenas, represented by Protictitherium in the phylogenetic tree depicted below.
