Hi everyone,
Whilst I was reading about this animal, an image of a creature that still
lives sprung to mind - The Giant Otter Shrew (Potamogale velox) from the
Congolese jungles.
It has the same size, appearance, diet and also lives in a waterside burrow.
In fact everything that the fossil animal was supposed to do. If you don't
believe me, google up "The Giant Otter Shrew (Potamogale velox)" and look
for the pics of it and compare them to the article's picture of the fossil
animal.
Regards,
MiRe.
