Apatemyidae
Apatemyidae is an extinct family of placental mammals that took part in the first placental evolutionary radiation together with other early mammals such as the leptictids. Common in North America during the Paleocene, they are also represented in Europe by the genus ''Jepsenella''. ==Apatemyids in life== Like most Paleocene mammals, the Apatemyds were small and presumably insectivorous. Size ranged from that of a dormouse to a large rat. The toes were slender and well clawed, and the family were probably mainly arboreal. The skull was fairly massive compared to the otherwise slender skeleton, and the front teeth were long and hooked, resembling those of the modern aye-aye and marsupial ''Dactylopsila'', both whom make their living by gnawing off bark with their front teeth to get at grubs and maggots beneath.
