Eucyon (Greek: Eu-primitive; cyon-dog) is an extinct genus of small omnivorous coyote-like canid that first appeared in North America during the Miocene, living from 10.3--3.6 Ma and existed for approximately 6.7 million years. The genus is notable because it is proposed that its lineage gave rise to genus Canis.
