A recently discovered distal humorous shows that very large bodied amphicyonids existed in Pakistan in the Early Miocene. Movements on their elbow joint are interpreted to be very similar to those of modern bears. They had powerful front limbs, which were probably used to grasp the prey. Taxonomic affinities of the specimen are also discussed.
