The genus Leptocyon (Greek: leptos slender + cyon dog) includes 11 species and was the first canine. They were small and weighed around 2 kilograms (4.4 lb). They first appeared in North America around 34 million years ago in the Oligocene at the same time as the Borophaginae with whom they share features, indicating that these were two sister groups. Borophaginae skull and dentition were designed for a powerful killing bite compared with the Leptocyon which were designed for snatching small, fast-moving prey. The species L. delicatus is the smallest canid to have existed. At the close of their genus 9 million years ago one Leptocyon lineage resembled the modern fox.

  • Il leptocione (gen. Leptocyon) è un canide estinto, vissuto tra l'Oligocene medio e il Miocene superiore (tra 28 e 10 milioni di anni fa). I suoi resti fossili sono stati ritrovati in Nordamerica. È considerato il più antico rappresentante della sottofamiglia dei canidi attuali (Caninae). (it)
  • Leptocyon foi um género da família Canidae, ancestral das atuais raposas e cães que viveu durante o Mioceno Inferior, há cerca de 23 milhões de anos, junto com as espécies do género e Borophaginae e evoluindo para entre dois ou três géneros diferentes da Família Canidae. Este género teve três espécies: Leptocyon gregorii, Leptocyon vafer e Leptocyon vulpinus. Este último possivelmente deu origem a outros ancestrais mais recentes das raposas. (pt)

  • Leptocyon — рід хижих ссавців із родини псових. Етимологія: дав.-гр. λεπτός — «стрункий», κύων — «пес». Включає приблизно 11 видів перших Caninae. Вони були малими й важили ≈ 2 кг. Вперше вони з'явилися в Північній Америці приблизно 34 мільйони років тому в олігоцені, одночасно з Borophaginae. Однак череп і зуби Borophaginae були розроблені для потужного вбивчого укусу в порівнянні з Leptocyon, який був розроблений для вихоплення дрібної швидкої здобичі. Вид L. delicatus є найменшим відомим псовим. (uk)
