Leptictidium
Leptictidium. Artists impression of the extinct mammal Leptictidium. Fossil evidence of their skeleton revealed that Leptictids had small front legs and large back legs allowing them to move by hopping or jumping. They measured up to 90cm long from nose to tail. Fossilised stomach contents reveal a diet of insects, smaller mammals and lizards. Leptictids existed during the time of the dinosaurs but eventually became extinct at the beginning of the Oligocene epoch, 40 million years ago

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases an artist's impression of the remarkable extinct mammal, Leptictidium. The fossil evidence of their skeleton has unveiled fascinating details about this creature's unique physical attributes and behavior. With its small front legs and large back legs, Leptictids possessed the extraordinary ability to move by hopping or jumping, much like modern-day kangaroos. Measuring up to an impressive 90cm in length from nose to tail, these agile mammals roamed the Earth during the era of dinosaurs but eventually met their demise at the dawn of the Oligocene epoch around 40 million years ago. Fossilized stomach contents have provided valuable insights into their dietary preferences, revealing a menu consisting of insects, smaller mammals, and lizards. The intricate illustration captures the essence of this ancient species with meticulous attention to detail. It serves as a testament to both scientific knowledge and artistic interpretation within paleontology. This image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into prehistoric life and shedding light on evolutionary biology. Leptictidium represents a significant piece in our understanding of early mammalian evolution. Its delicate yet robust nature has left an indelible mark on vertebrate paleontology. As we marvel at this mesmerizing artwork depicting one such leptictid gracefully leaping through its habitat, we are reminded once again that our planet's history is filled with awe-inspiring creatures waiting to be discovered through fossils and scientific exploration.
