Protypotherium
''Protypotherium'' is an extinct genus of notoungulate mammals native to South America during the Miocene epoch. A number of closely related animals date back further, to the Paleocene.
''Protypotherium'' was slightly larger than a rabbit, measuring about in length. The body and legs as well as the tail of this animal were relatively long, while its neck was short. It probably resembled a rodent, possessing slender limbs with clawed feet. Its rat-like skull contained a set of 44 unspecialized teeth.
From the shape of its claws, ''Protypotherium'' would have been adept at digging and likely took over the burrows of other animals. It is hypothesized that, while ''Protypotherium'' was chiefly herbivorous, it probably also ate carrion.
