    Epicyon ("more than a dog")
    is a large, extinct, canid genus of the subfamily
    Borophaginae ("bone-crushing dogs"),
    native to North America.

    Epicyon existed for about 7 million years
    from the early Clarendonian age of the Late Miocene to the late Hemphillian age of the Early Pliocene.

    E. haydeni is the largest known canid of all time,
    with the type species reaching
    2.4 m (7.9 ft) in length,
    90 cm (35 in) in shoulder height
    and approximately 100–125 kg (220–276 lb) in body mass.
