Description

Moeritherium ('the beast from Lake Moeris') is a genus consisting of several extinct species. These prehistoric mammals are related to the elephant and, more distantly, the sea cow. They lived during the Eocene epoch.
Moeritherium is not believed to be an ancestor of modern elephants; it was a branch of the order that died out, leaving no descendants. There were several species of early elephants in existence during the Eocene, and some, such as Palaeomastodon, looked relatively similar to modern elephants. However, Moeritherium typified a branch of the family that evolved in a quite different way, having only a stubby trunk and short legs.(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moerithe…)
