Miomaci

Miomaci (Latinized Greek: mio, abbreviation of "Miocene" + Hungarian: maci "little bear") is a genus of herbivorous ailuropodine bear from the late Miocene of Hungary. It is known only from teeth and jaws, but these indicate it was significantly smaller than its close relative Indarctos, which could reach 265.74 kg.
