Another piece of evidence for the hypothesis that different species of Early Miocene amphicyonids survived the Early-Middle Miocene boundary is provided by the three specimens of a small amphicyonid at Napudet that are close to the Early Miocene I Cynelos euryodon i . Carnivores (Creodonta and Carnivora) from the basal middle Miocene of Gebel Zelten, Libya, with a note on a large amphicyonid from the middle Miocene of Ngorora, Kenya. The occurrence of Middle Miocene fossil mammals at Napudet, Kenya, was first documented in the 1990s by members of the Koobi Fora Research Project (KFRP). It may belong to a new species of I Myacyon i , a strictly Middle Miocene genus that rapidly diversified after the Early-Middle Miocene boundary (Morales et al., [17]), including the giant amphicyonid from Napudet.
