Euoplocyon is an extinct genus of the Borophaginae subfamily of canids native to North America. It lived during the Early to Middle Miocene, 20.6—13.6 Mya, existing for about 7 million years.[1] A member of the Borophagini tribe,[2] it was an intermediate-sized canid, with specialisations towards a heavily meat-based diet.[3]
