Pristinailurus bristoli (Bristol's panda) is a fossil species in the carnivoran family Ailuridae, well-represented in the Hemphillian deposits of Gray, Tennessee.[1] It was significantly larger than the living Ailurus, but probably possessed a weaker bite. Males appear to have been as much as twice the size of females.[2]
