Bear dogs weighed 150 kilograms on average. Sharing the heavy-bodied features of bears as well as the longer legs and snout features of dogs, they resembled a giant dog with a flexible cat-like body. Evidence of muscular forelimbs and a strong neck suggest that this carnivore engaged in ambush-style predatory action; it would have been adept at stabilizing its victim before inflicting a deadly killing bite. The present specimen has been expertly prepared and mounted and exhibits outstanding bone quality and color.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lot-details__description__content\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lot-details__description__content\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eLength 87in\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BigfootCasts.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41130892165311,"sku":"","price":89000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0041\/6635\/2996\/products\/Screenshot_20211214-002649.png?v=1639482172","url":"https:\/\/bigfootcasts.com\/es\/products\/bear-dog-fossil-skeleton","provider":"BigfootCasts.com ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
