''Chapalmalania'' is an extinct procyonid genus from the Pliocene of South America, which lived from 5.3 to 1.8 million years ago. Though related to raccoons and coatis, ''Chapalmalania'' was a large creature, reaching in body length, with a short tail. It probably resembled the giant panda. Due to its size, its remains were initially identified as those of a bear. It evolved from the "dog-coati" ''Cyonasua'', which probably island-hopped from Central America during the late Miocene (7.5 million years ago), as perhaps the earliest southward mammalian migrants of the Great American Interchange. When the Isthmus of Panama rose from the sea to allow further invasions by other North American species, ''Chapalmalania'' was unable to compete and its lineage went extinct, after being present in South America for 5 million years. ==References==
