艾克猛獾学名Ekorus ekakeran)为生存于中新世晚期肯亚的大型鼬科物种[1]。牠们的体型与现存的鼬科十分不同,现存鼬科多半具有较短的四肢且仅能进行短距离的奔跑;而艾克猛獾四肢则较修长,类似于,肩高可达60厘米(2英尺)[2]。艾克猛獾在大型猫科兴起前为当地的顶级掠食者,以宽颌三趾马英语Eurygnathohippus尼亚萨猪英语Nyanzachoerus为食。在东非大裂谷形成之前,肯亚被浓密的森林所覆盖[3],然而随着裂谷的形成,当地的植披也逐渐由森林被疏林草原所取代,也因此导致较适合于林间生存的艾克猛獾灭绝。

其他大型鼬科物种化石也曾在北美洲[4]欧洲[5]亚洲[6]非洲[7]
