The Osteology and Paleoecology of the Giant Otter Enhydritherium terraenovae


The Osteology and Paleoecology of the Giant Otter Enhydritherium terraenovae

(Pdf supplied by Scott Mardis)
(In this case I do not believe that the culprits in our more recent Giant Otter sightings are actually residual Enhydrotherium of the Miocene; but since the genus is Transatlantic, appearing in Europe and in North America, and on both Atlantic and Pacific shores of North America, that it was generalized enough to deal with both riverine/estuarine and marine conditions plus being better able to walk overland than the current sea otters, and that it might well be of the same stock which gave rise to both regular sea otters Enhydris and the giant Mediterranean otters of the latest Pleistocene Megalenhydris, the genus does paint a pretty accurate picture of our modern Master-Otter reports and admirably suggests how such a combination of features came about-DD)
