Djadochtatheriidae

†Djadochtatherium †Catopsbaatar †Guibaatar †Kryptobaatar †Mangasbaatar †Tombaatar Djadochtatheriidae is a family of fossil mammals within the extinct order Multituberculata.

These animals lived during the Mesozoic, also known as the "age of the dinosaurs".

The taxon Djadochtatheriidae was named by Zofia Kielan-Jaworowska and Jørn Hurum in 1997.

[2] Multituberculates are a rather diverse group in terms of locomotion and diet.

Forms like Kryptobaatar and Catopsbaatar were hopping, jerboa-like omnivores (and this is probably the ancestral condition for the group, given that Nemegtbaatar also had this lifestyle),[3] while Mangasbaatar was a robust, digging herbivore.
