Its large eyes and very long tail suggest that it may have been nocturnal and arboreal. Judging from its teeth, it was an omnivore.[4] References1. ^Mieczysław WOLSAN "Phylogeny and classification of early European Mustelida (Mammalia: Carnivora)"Acta Theriologica 38 (4): 345-384 {{Portal|Paleontology}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q2177148}}{{paleo-carnivora-stub}}2. ^CLEMENS MODDEN and MIECZYSLAW WOLSAN, "External brain morphology of the late Oligocene musteloid carnivoran Bavarictis gaimersheimensis" Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 45, 3, 301-310 3. ^PaleoBiology Database: Plesictis, basic info 4. ^{{cite book |editor=Palmer, D.|year=1999 |title= The Marshall Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Animals|publisher= Marshall Editions|location=London|page= 215|isbn= 1-84028-152-9}} 6 : Prehistoric mustelids|Oligocene carnivorans|Miocene mustelids|Oligocene mammals of Europe|Fossil taxa described in 1846|Miocene mammals of Europe |
