A team of researchers from the National Museum of Natural Sciences (MNCN-CSIC), the Catalan Institute of Palacies Miquel Crossfonte (ICP), the University of Alcalá (UAH), the University of Zaragoza and the University Institute of Research in Environmental Sciences of Aragon (IUCA), have discovered the remains of a predator weighing more than 200 kilos, as if it were a brown bear, but with sharp teeth like a leopard’s. The remains of this new species of dog-bear – parts of the skull and teeth of several specimens – have been discovered in the Cerro de los Batallones, in the south of the community of Madrid (Spain).
