''Lambdotherium'' lived alongside a multitude of other animals, including the primitive horse ''Eohippus'', the oxyaenid ''Oxyaena'', the phenacodont ''Phenacodus'' and the pantodont ''Coryphodon''. ''Lambotherium'' also coexisted with omomyid primates. The environments ''Lambdotherium'' lived in were likely open habitats, interspersed with forests along water bodies. The flora of the region is speculated to have been similar to the flora of the [[Woolwich Formation]] in England, which preserves figs (''[[Ficus]]''), the locust tree (''[[Robinia]]''), the tulip tree (''[[Liriodendron]]''), and ''[[Grevillea]]''. |

Direct fossils of plants from the Wasatch formation confirm the presence of ''Metasequoia'' and ''Averrhoites affinis.'' The environments ''Lambdotherium'' lived in were mostly [[Tropical climate|tropical]] and [[Subtropics|subtropical]] in climate, which, in the case of the Wasatch formation, allowed [[Paleocene]] plant communities to persist into the Eocene.{{Cite book |last=Aubry |first=Marie-Pierre |url=https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=BR-zAQAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PA380&dq=paleoflora+of+early+eocene+wyoming&ots=UVAmpscWLT&sig=MAv8Qil89NA48gsE3qU4yY5NygQ#v=onepage&q&f=false |title=Late Paleocene-early Eocene Climatic and Biotic Events in the Marine and Terrestrial Records |last2=Lucas |first2=Spencer G. |last3=Berggren |first3=William A. |date=1998 |publisher=Columbia University Press |isbn=978-0-231-10238-4 |language=en}} |
