Desmostylus

''Desmostylus''〔"Bound pillar", from Greek (''desmos''), bond, and (''stulos''), pillar, referring to the shape of the molars.〕 is an extinct genus of herbivorous mammal of the family Desmostylidae living from the Chattian stage of the Late Oligocene subepoch through the Late Miocene subepoch (28.4 mya—7.250 Mya) and in existence for approximately .〔. Retrieved March 2013.〕
==Morphology==

''Desmostylus'' was a large, hippopotamus-like creature of about long which weighed about . It had a short tail and powerful legs with four hooves. Both the creature's jaws were elongated and sported forward-facing tusks, which were elongated canines and incisors.
Most likely amphibious, ''Desmostylus'' is thought to have lived in shallow water in coastal regions. Some paleontologists have argued it may have fed on seaweed during low tide. However, recent isotope work indicates that ''Desmostylus'' more likely lived (or spent a large amount of time) in freshwater or estuary ecosystems foraging for aquatic freshwater plants.
