Plesictis is an extinct prehistoric genus ofmustelid^[1]^[2] (originally described as aprocyonid) endemic toEurope during theOligocene andMiocene 33.9—20.0Ma existing for approximately13.9 million years.^[3]

Plesictis was a 75 centimetres (2.46 ft) long animal, resembling a weasel with large eyes, or possibly acacomistle. Its large eyes and very long tail suggest that it may have been nocturnal and arboreal. Judging from itsteeth, it was anomnivore.^[4]
