text:
Parailurus is a genus of extinct carnivoran mammal in the family Ailuridae. It was about 50% larger than Ailurus and lived in the early to late Pliocene Epoch, and its fossils have been found in Europe, North America, and Japan. The fossils of P. baikalicus carry low-crowned lower molars, along with the main cuspids of the cheek teeth being worn horizontally. This suggests P. baikalicus commonly ate leaves. A third species, Parailurus tedfordi, was described in 2022.
