Plesiogulo

Plesiogulo is a genus of prehistoric carnivore that lived from Miocene to Pliocene of Africa, Eurasia and North America. An ancestral relationship to the wolverine (Gulo gulo) was once suggested, but it is no longer considered likely.^[1] However, some authorities still consider it a member of the Guloninae.^[2]
