Silvacola is an extinct genus of mammals belonging to the family Erinaceidae, which also contains the modern hedgehogs and gymnures. It lived in North America during the Early Eocene, about 50 million years ago. It was just 5 to 6 centimetres (2.0 to 2.4 in) long, roughly the length of an adult thumb. It is the smallest erinaceid ever found and comparable in size to some of today's shrews. The teeth suggest it was an omnivore that probably ate insects and plants it found on the forest floor.

  • Silvacola acares — вимерлий вид комахоїдних ссавців родини Їжакові (Erinaceidae). Вид мешкав у ранньому еоцені у Північній Америці (52 млн років тому). Цей примітивний їжак був розміром із землерийку, завдовжки 5-6 см. Будова зубів передбачає, що цей вид був всеїдним. Він живився комахами та рослинами, які шукав у лісовій підстилці. Скам'янілі рештки виду знайдені у Британській Колумбії в Канаді на місці стародавнього озера. (uk)

  • Silvacola is an extinct genus of mammals belonging to the family Erinaceidae, which also contains the modern hedgehogs and gymnures. It lived in North America during the Early Eocene, about 50 million years ago. It was just 5 to 6 centimetres (2.0 to 2.4 in) long, roughly the length of an adult thumb. It is the smallest erinaceid ever found and comparable in size to some of today's shrews. The teeth suggest it was an omnivore that probably ate insects and plants it found on the forest floor. The fossil was discovered in the Driftwood Creek Beds near Smithers, British Columbia, about 670 kilometers north of Vancouver. It was once the site of an ancient lake, and it is a popular place to find fossils of early Eocene flora and fauna., part of the Eocene Okanagan Highlands. (en)
