Chriacus was a genus of placental mammals that lived in what is now North America during the Paleocene epoch and died out after the early Eocene. In life, members of the genus would have looked something like a kinkajou or binturong, though they were not closely related to any living mammal. Well preserved fossils allow clear information on what they looked like. They were about 1 metre (3.3 ft) long including a long, robust tail, which may or may not have been prehensile. Other features include a light build, weighing approximately 7 kg (15 lb), and many adaptations typical of animals that live in trees. These include walking on the soles of their five-toed feet, and having long, curved, compressed claws. The powerfully built limbs had flexible joints, especially the ankles, an adaptation

  • Chriacus és un gènere extint de mamífers condilartres de la família dels arctociònids que visqueren a Nord-amèrica durant el Paleocè, fa entre 56,8 i 63,3 milions d'anys. Semblava un os rentador del Paleocè, amb una mida d'aproximadament un metre comptant la seva llarga cua prènsil. Era de constitució lleugera, pesava uns set quilograms i grimpava àgilment als arbres. Era un animal plantígrad, és a dir, caminava sobre les palmes de les seves potes de cinc dits, que tenien llargues urpes. Les seves potes eren potents i tenien articulacions flexibles. Les potes anteriors podien servir per excavar, mentre que les posteriors estaven més adaptades a grimpar. Probablement era un omnívor com el seu parent Arctocyon, alimentant-se de fruita, ous i petits mamífers. (ca)

  • Le genre Chriacus regroupe des ongulés Condylarthres du Paléocène et du début de l'Éocène. Chriacus vivait il y a environ 63 Ma dans les forêts d'Europe, du Canada et des États-Unis, masses continentales encore en connexion à l'époque. Parmi les Condylarthres, c'est l'un des mieux connus, en partie grâce à la découverte de squelettes quasi complets dans le Wyoming. (fr)

  • Chriacus is een uitgestorven zoogdier behorend tot de Arctocyonidae. Dit dier leefde van het Vroeg-Paleoceen tot het Vroeg-Eoceen in Noord-Amerika. Chriacus is een van de best bekende "condylarthen", mede door de vondst van een vrijwel compleet skelet, en het leek wat betreft uiterlijk en leefwijze sterk op de hedendaagse neusberen. (nl)
  • Chriacus – wymarły prehistoryczny ssak z grupy prakopytnych żyjący 63 miliony lat temu. Było to podobne do szopa zwierzę paleoceńskie posiadające 1 m długości, wliczając w to długi, czepny ogon. Posiadało lekką budowę, masę ciała szacuje się na 7 kg. Dzięki temu zręcznie wspinało się na drzewa. W przeciwieństwie do dzisiejszych kopytnych było stopochodne, chodziło na całej stopie zaopatrzonej w 5 palców zakończonych długimi pazurami. Jego nogi były silnie zbudowane, stawy- elastyczne. Przednich łap stworzenie to używało prawdopodobnie do kopania, podczas gdy tylnych do wspinaczki. Było przypuszczalnie wszystkożercą, jak jego krewniak, Arctocyon pożywiało się owocami, jajami, owadami i małymi ssakami. (pl)
  • Chriacus é um género de mamíferos extinto da família dos Arctocyonidae, que ocorreu entre o Paleoceno e o Eoceno na América do Norte. As espécies de Chriacus mediam cerca de 1 metro e tinham habilidade para escalar, como indicam seus membros traseiros e a cauda semi-preênsil. Eram plantígrado (andava sobre as plantas dos pés), como os ursos, e tinham garras longas. Os Chriacus provavelmente se alimentavam de insetos, pequenos animais e frutas. (pt)

  • Chriacus es un género extinto de mamíferos placentarios del orden de los condilartros que vivió aproximadamente hace 63-50 millones de años. Parecía un coatí del Paleoceno, con unas dimensiones de aproximadamente un metro contando su larga cola prensil. Era de constitución ligera, pesaba unos 7 kg y trepaba ágilmente a los árboles. Era un animal plantígrado, es decir, caminaba sobre la planta de sus patas de cinco dedos, que tenían largas garras. Sus patas eran potentes y tenían articulaciones flexibles. Las patas delanteras podían servir para excavar, mientras que las posteriores estaban más adaptadas para trepar. Probablemente era un omnívoro como su pariente Arctocyon, alimentándose de fruta, huevos y pequeños mamíferos. (es)
  • Chriacus (лат., от др.-греч. χρειᾰκός — полезный, служащий) — вымерший род млекопитающих из надотряда лавразиатериев. Как и в случае со многими другими родами, которых раннее относили к теперь расформированному отряду кондиляртр, филогенетическое положение Chriacus остаётся спорным. Род нередко помещают в кладу копытных (Euungulata); другой результат дал филогенетический анализ Т. Холлидея и коллег (2015), восстановивший его как представителя стволовой группы панголинов (тотальная группа ). Жил в палеоцене — раннем эоцене в Северной Америке. Фоссилии датируются возрастом примерно в 63 млн лет назад. (ru)

  • Chriacus was a genus of placental mammals that lived in what is now North America during the Paleocene epoch and died out after the early Eocene. In life, members of the genus would have looked something like a kinkajou or binturong, though they were not closely related to any living mammal. Well preserved fossils allow clear information on what they looked like. They were about 1 metre (3.3 ft) long including a long, robust tail, which may or may not have been prehensile. Other features include a light build, weighing approximately 7 kg (15 lb), and many adaptations typical of animals that live in trees. These include walking on the soles of their five-toed feet, and having long, curved, compressed claws. The powerfully built limbs had flexible joints, especially the ankles, an adaptation that allows an animal to turn its hind feet behind it, like modern tree squirrels, in order to climb downward. They were probably omnivores, eating fruit, eggs, insects and small mammals. Analysis of casts of the brain and inner ear from Chriacus pelvidens and C. baldwini suggest these animals depended more on their sense of smell than sight, may have been able to hear about as well as a modern aardvark, and were slow-moving to moderately agile. The encephalization quotient (EQ) had a range of 0.12–0.41 (1.0=average brain size compared with modern mammals of a similar body size) and the neocortex was less developed than later mammals. By the standards of modern mammals, they would have been neither especially quick nor intelligent, but their brains were comparable to many mammals of their time. Derived features of the inner ear were shared with fossils that are assigned to Euungulata (artiodactyls+perissodactyls), suggesting the genus may be close to the origin of ungulates, though it is too different in form to be a direct ancestor.
