Paraenhydrocyon josephi ("beside Enhydrocyon") is an extinct species of the genus Paraenhydrocyon, a somewhat small bone crushing omnivorous mammal similar to a dog of the family Canidae which inhabited North America during the Oligocene living from 33.3—20.6 Ma and existed for approximately 12.7 million years.[1]

Taxonomy
Paraenhydrocyon was named by Cope (1881). It was recombined as Mesocyon josephi by Scott (1890), Matthew (1907), Loomis (1936), Hough (1948), Stevens (1991) and Wang and Fremd (1994); it was recombined as Hypotemnodon josephi by Matthew (1899); it was recombined as Paraenhydrocyon josephi by Wang (1994), Fremd and et al. (1994) and Wang and Tedford (1996). It was assigned to Temnocyon by Cope (1881); to Hypotemnodon by Matthew (1899); to Mesocyon by Scott (1890), Matthew (1907), Loomis (1936), Hough (1948), Stevens (1991) and Wang and Fremd (1994); and to Paraenhydrocyon by Wang (1994), Fremd and et al. (1994) and Wang and Tedford (1996).[2]
