Agriarctos nikolovi

Agriarctos nikolovi is an extinct species of panda from the Late Miocene of Bulgaria, some 6 million years ago. The specific epithet of the scientific name commemorates Dr. Ivan Nikolov, former director of the Bulgarian National Museum of Natural History, for having preserved two teeth later used as the holotypes identifying the species in the museum's collections, and "for his contributions to the study of the fossil mammal fauna of Bulgaria".
