Paroodectes ("nearOodectes") is anextinct genus of placental mammals from cladeCarnivoraformes, that lived inEurope during the middleEocene.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

It lived in rain forests and swamps and was a prehistoric predator that had the size and appearance of acat and was well adapted to climbing, as is apparent from its limbs, joints and shoulder bones. Its long tail gave balance for tree climbing and jumping from branch to branch.Paroodectes probably huntedinsects,rodents, and smallprimates in the tree tops.

Only one species ofParoodectes (P. feisti) has been found, and this was at theMessel Pit located southeast ofFrankfurt,Germany. The pit was formed during theGeiseltalian Period (or Middle Eocene) about 50 million years ago. The fossil was found by private collector Otto Feist in 1974. It was described in 1980 by Rainer Springhorn who said the following about the species: "The odontological features of the Messel-Miacid are nearest to the new world genusOodectes from theBridger Basin (Bridgerian). No direct relationship exists to European species. The structure of thepostcranial skeleton shows great conformity withNorth American Miacinae. Differences result from proportions skull-length/stature and length ofvertebral column/length of limbs. A well-developedclavicle is extant.Scaphoid, lunar and central are distinct.Metatarsals are elongated. Hand and foot are adapted toplantigrade locomotion. An arboricole [living in trees] habit is assumed. Somemorphologic features are reminiscent of theViverridae and someProcyonidae."^[1]
