Product details
Amphicyon, commonly known as the "dog-bear", was a genus of carnivorous mammals that lived from the late Oligocene to the middle Miocene, approximately 16.9 to 9 million years ago. This genus belongs to the family Amphicyonidae and its fossils have been found in various regions of Europe, Asia, Africa and North America.
Amphicyon combined characteristics of both bears and dogs. It had a robust build with broad, clawed legs similar to those of bears, and a skull reminiscent of a canid, with a complete set of teeth adapted for a carnivorous diet. This combination of traits gave it remarkable versatility as a predator.
In terms of size, Amphicyon species varied significantly. For example, Amphicyon major could reach a body mass of around 180 kg, comparable to that of a modern lion or tiger. On the other hand, Amphicyon ingens was one of the largest species, with an estimated mass of up to 600 kg, placing it among the largest predators of its time.
The Amphicyon skull was a combination of bear and dog characteristics. It had a robust and elongated structure, with a complete set of teeth including incisors, canines, premolars, and molars, adapted for a carnivorous diet. The canines were particularly well developed, allowing it to effectively capture and tear its prey. Furthermore, the structure of its jaw and associated musculature gave it a powerful bite.
Amphicyon was an active and formidable predator in its ecosystem. Its combination of strength, size, and cranial adaptations allowed it to hunt a wide variety of prey, from small mammals to larger herbivores. Its success as a hunter was reflected in its wide geographic distribution and the diversity of species within the genus.
Despite its success over millions of years, climate change and competition with other predators eventually led to the extinction of Amphicyon. However, its legacy lives on in the fossil record, providing valuable information on the evolution of carnivorous mammals and the dynamics of past ecosystems.

Collector's item ; Hyper-realistic replica, highly detailed and with a high degree of scientific precision.
Made to scale, prototyped in resin and with a scenic base in most of the models offered. If you like miniatures, both for collecting and for painting, we offer you a wide variety of scale replicas; All of them related to dinosaurs, extinct prehistoric fauna and current fauna.
So if you love dinosaurs and animals as much as we do, this is your favorite store to collect and paint them :)
We are authorized distributors of all the replicas and figures we offer. We use 3D printers with 8K - 14K resolution, and high-quality resins with additives to improve hardness and flexibility, thus offering replicas of impeccable quality.
Different scales will be used to make the replicas (depending on the size of the species), although we are open to making other suggested scales upon request as long as they fit in our printing trays, for which you will have to contact us via email and request the required size.
Replicas are supplied with the option of airbrush priming in dark grey. If you require another colour, please let us know which one you prefer in the box with special instructions for the seller. Without priming, we do not guarantee that the resin will accept paint.
We also offer the option of choosing a professionally painted replica, which is agreed upon throughout its development with the painter, through a private chat available.
Complete replica (one piece): We supply complete replicas in those models that are small, and models that are medium, large or not very bulky, will have the prerogative of being presented as a complete replica or assembly kit as the case may be.
Complete replicas will be supplied separately from their base.
Replica assembly kit: We supply replicas whose models are large, very large or bulky, only with this option.
The indicated replicas (generally composed of base, head, body and tail) will come prepared for the subsequent assembly that will be required by the client, by sanding, putty, adhesive or technique chosen by the client.
All replicas are thoroughly inspected before shipping and will be carefully packaged to prevent damage during transport.
Information about the models
The poses of the models aim to represent each character in the most scientifically viable way, thus revealing the life and customs of prehistoric and modern fauna.
Each character has its own personality and develops in different life scenarios; birth, adolescence and play, hunting, feeding, fighting, courtship, death and many other scenes from their daily life, always from the creative perspective of their designers.
Handmade
All orders are individually prepared on the cutter for subsequent prototyping, obtaining a resin part that will require post-processing by manual and ultrasonic cleaning, support removal, ultraviolet curing, labeling and packaging.
We are authorized distributors
We offer both our own physical replicas and those that have been modeled by many of the best 3D designers, in order to offer you the greatest possible variety.
