Pantolambda

 Pantolambda The animals overall apperance was like a cats but ate plants and had hoof-like clawed feet. It was about the size of a sheep and had five toes on each foot. This species has been found in New Mexico, Wyoming and in Montana. It was found in the middle paloecene period. Pantolambda's teeth had a selenodont structure.This means that the enamel ridges had crescent-shaped cusps. They were considered to be a heavier animal so it was definatly not a tree dweller. The pantolambda lived mostly on the continent of North America and some lived in Asia. They weren't know to be very big and are known to be omnivores. They were later found on the continent of South America and guessed by palentologists to have migrated there from North America. The later pantodonts were clearly a herbivorous animal. The paloecene pantodonts of Asia were relatively a lighter build in body and may have lived in trees.
