Because of their strange combination of bearlike and doglike traits, they’re sometimes confusingly called the beardogs. And even though you’ve never met one of these animals, the beardogs are key to understanding the history of an important branch of the mammal family tree.

Thanks to Ceri Thomas (  / alphynix  ) and Julio Lacerda (  / juliotheartist  ) for the excellent beardog illustrations!
