}}Paratylopus is an extinct genus of terrestrial herbivore in the family Camelidae, endemic to North America from the Eocene through Oligocene 38.0—30.8, existing for approximately {{Mya|38-30.8|million years}}.[1] It belongs to mammal class. TaxonomyParatylopus was named by Matthew (1909) [named as subgenus by Matthew 1904; raised to genus level]. It was assigned to Camelidae by Matthew (1909) and Carroll (1988).[2][3]MorphologyFour specimens were examined for estimated body mass by M. Mendoza, C. M. Janis, and P. Palmqvist. These specimens were estimated to weigh:
