Enhydriodon

Enhydriodon were a genus of otters that lived in what is now Ethiopia during the Miocene epoch. The otter is thought to be a relative of modern day otters. Enhydriodon was described as a considerably large otter, though only its skull was found.[1] Estimates put it at about 200 kilograms (440 lb), making it the largest mustelid described so far.[2][3]
