Leptictidium

Leptictidium are small jumping mammals. They were in existence during the Cretaceous period and they survived the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event well into the Eocene. They were widespread across Europe and North America.

Leptictidium had small front legs and large back legs, they may have moved by hopping. They probably had long, mobile noses. They ranged in size from 60-90cm from nose to tail.

They were carnivorous, dining on insects, lizards and other small mammals.
