Enhydriodon is an extinct genus of typically large otters that lived in what is now Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Chad, South Africa, and India from the late Miocene up to early Pleistocene. The otter is thought to be a relative of modern-day sea otters. E. omoensis and E. dikikae are described as the largest mustelids to have ever existed, though only fragments of the genus have been found such as the skull, femur, and dental remains in Ethiopia. Multiple estimates put them at about 200 kilograms (440 lb) while E. omoensis was described to be lion-sized, making them the largest mustelids described so far. Most species of the Enhydriodon genus are presumed to be semi-aquatic given most of the fossil isotope values being similar to fossilized semi-aquatic animals like hippopotamuses. The largest

  • Enhydriodon був родом видр, які мешкали на території сучасної Ефіопії в епоху міоцену та пліоцену. Вважається, що Enhydriodon є родичкою сучасних видр. Enhydriodon був описаний як досить велика видра, хоча був знайдений лише його череп. За оцінками, його вага становить близько 200 кілограмів, що робить його найбільшою мустелою, описаною досі. (uk)
  • 大水獺屬(學名:Enhydriodon)為生存於中新世至更新世時期衣索比亞地區的水獺,為現存水獺的近親,但體型要大上許多。目前僅有發現大水獺的顱骨化石,不過據推測牠們的體重可達200公斤(440英磅),為目前已知體型最大的鼬科物種。 (zh)
