Aguascalientia panamaensis

Aguascalientia panamaensis is an extinct species of camelid, a member of the family Camelidae in the genus Aguascalientia. It was named by Rincon et al. in 2012, and the Paleobiology Database records it as an extinct species of the order Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates. The database dates the species from the Rupelian to the Burdigalian stage of the early Oligocene, between about 29.5 and 18.5 million years ago, from one fossil occurrence, found in Panama (Panama). Its ecospace record gives a terrestrial, ground-dwelling way of life and a browsing or grazing diet, values taken from the wider family, since fossils of the species itself do not show how it fed. The GBIF backbone taxonomy lists Aguascalientia panamaensis as an accepted species of the family Camelidae, which is the second source for the name.
