Enhydriodon dikikae is an extinct species in the family Mustelidae that existed during the Miocene and Pliocene epoch. Fossils from this species were discovered in Dikika, Lower Awash Valley in Ethiopia. These fossils were found in the lower basal member of the Hadar Formation, which means they existed more than 3.42 million years ago but the estimated age of the fossils is greater than 3.4 million years old and likely to be closer to 4 million years old. In comparison to most other species in the genus Enhydriodon, E. dikikae is one of the youngest.

| - Enhydriodon dikikae — вимерлий вид родини Mustelidae, що існував у епоху міоцену та пліоцену. Скам'янілості цього виду були виявлені в Дікіці, долина Нижній Аваш, Ефіопія, у формації Хадар, науковці оцінюють вік 3,42 — 4 мільйона років тому. Порівняно з іншими видами роду , E. dikikae є одним з наймолодших. Вага E. dikikae сягала 200 кг, довжина — 2 метри. E. dikikae була гігантською напівводною видрою, що харчувалася твердими продуктами. (uk)

| - Enhydriodon dikikae is an extinct species in the family Mustelidae that existed during the Miocene and Pliocene epoch. Fossils from this species were discovered in Dikika, Lower Awash Valley in Ethiopia. These fossils were found in the lower basal member of the Hadar Formation, which means they existed more than 3.42 million years ago but the estimated age of the fossils is greater than 3.4 million years old and likely to be closer to 4 million years old. In comparison to most other species in the genus Enhydriodon, E. dikikae is one of the youngest. It is suggested that E. dikikae weighed up to 200 kilograms and grew up to 2 meters in length. The fossils evidence suggests that the E. dikikae was a giant semiaquatic otter and had a jaw structure that suggests it fed on hard foods but this is still undetermined. While related species have also been found in Europe and Asia, the differences in size and dental structures differentiate E. dikikae from its relatives. (en)
