👉 Eurypanopeus is a genus of extinct mammals that lived during the Paleocene epoch, approximately 56 million years ago. They were small herbivores and were known for their distinctive long, curved tongues. This group was characterized by short limbs and a large skull with three pairs of ears, which likely provided them with hearing for detecting predators. Eurypanopeus is one of the most diverse groups in the fossil record, including several species that are still extant today.
