An extinct family of small mammals from the Paleocene and Eocene epochs, characterized by their distinctive comb-like teeth.
From 'ctenodont' plus the suffix '-idae' which denotes a family in biological taxonomy. The family name follows Linnaean nomenclature conventions.
These little creatures thrived right after the dinosaurs went extinct and used their crazy comb-teeth to exploit food sources no one else could access!
