Daphoenus vetus (Leidy 1853; Middle Eocene to Middle Miocene, 37-16mya). Like related dogs (genus: Canis) this mid-sized predator dug burrows for offspring nesting and hiding sites.
Protictitherium crassum (Kretzoi 1938; Koufos and Konidaris 2011; Miocene-Pliocene) is traditionally considered a hyena-like civet. Civets are not related to hyenas in the LRT.. Here Protictitherium nests with Vulpavus, a basal placental.
