Fossils of wolf-sized giant otter species found in China
Scientists in China's Yunnan province have discovered a new wolf-sized giant otter species based on the findings of over 6-million-year-old fossils, that measured up to 2 metres tall. Identified as Siamogale melilutra, the newly discovered otter species is estimated to weigh about 50 kilograms, outweighing the largest otter known to be living today by about 20 kilograms.
