Biology:Ravenictis
From HandWiki
Ravenictis ("weasel from Ravenscrag") is an extinct monotypic genus of placental mammals from clade Carnivoramorpha, that lived in North America during the early Palaeocene.[1][2][3]
Etymology
The generic name Ravenictis derives from Ravenscrag, Saskatchewan, which is located close to where the holotype was found, and the Greek word iktis, meaning marten or weasel. The specific epithet of the type species, Ravenictis krausei, honours the palaeontologist David W. Krause.[4]
