Feeding capability in the extinct giant Siamogale melilutra and comparative mandibular biomechanics of living Lutrinae
At 50 kg in estimated weight, the extinct Siamogale melilutra is larger than all living otters, and ranks among the largest fossil otters. The biomechanical capability of S. melilutra jaws as related to their large size is unknown but crucial to reconstructing the species’ potentially unique ecologi...
