Image title
Moeritherium - Moeritherium is a prehistoric mammal connected to the elephant and, further away, to the manatee and dugong. He lived in Eocene 35 million years ago. The Moeritherium were animals similar to the pig, and resembling tapirs. They were smaller than modern elephants, with only 70 centimetres at withers and about 3 m long. It is believed that they liked to live in marshes and rivers, occupying the ecological niche now occupied by a hippo. The shape of his teeth suggests that they were feeding on tender aquatic vegetation. Proboscideans of the genus Moeritherium wallow in a swamp 36 million years ago in what is today North Africa. Resembling modern tapirs or pygmy hippopotamuses, Moeritherium is in fact related to elephants. They stood only about 2.5 feet at the shoulder and were about 10 feet long. Dwelling in swamps and rivers and subsisting on soft vegetation, it is believed Moeritherium occupied an ecological niche subsequently filled by modern hippopotamuses
