The Pleistocene bush dog (Speothos pacivorus) is an extinct canid species in the genus Speothos from the Late Pleistocene.[1][2] It was a relative of the extant bush dog. When compared to the bush dog, S. pacivorus had an overall larger body size, a straighter radial shaft and a double-rooted second lower molar.[3]
