Description: Details

The desmostylids lived primarily along coastal sea shores feeding on the algeas and seaweeds, as evident from their fossil remains. Closely related to Elephants, manatees, and the dugongs, they were a prolific marine mammal during the middle miocene epoch along the Pacific Coast.
