	Paleobiology: A paleoecological paradox: The habitat and dietary preferences of the extinct tethythere Desmostylus, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Abstract.-The Desmostylia, an extinct order of mammals related to sirenians and proboscideans, are known from the late Oligocene to late Miocene of the North Pacific.
		Other groups of mammals may have exploited the abundant vegetation in shallow coastal waters that were widespread from the Eocene through the Miocene, such as the Desmostylia, an extinct group of hippo-sized mammals related to sirenians.
		The Desmostylia is composed of two families, the Paleoparadoxidae, which possessed low-crowned or bunodont molars, and the Desmostylidae, which had high-crowned or hypsodont molars (Inuzuka et al.

		BEATTY, B. L.; Howard University, Washington, DC: Cornwallius sookensis (Desmostylia, Mammalia): New Material and its Implications for Suction Feeding
		Cornwallius sookensis is one of the oldest known members of the extinct Order Desmostylia, a group traditionally interpreted as semiaquatic and hippo-like because of their resemblances to Hippopotamus and to their close tethytherian cousins, Moeritherium (a basal Proboscidean) and Pezosiren portelli (a basal Sirenian).
		It was previously known only as fossil teeth from Alaska, British Columbia, and Mexico.

		The Desmostylidae represents the only family of the order Desmostylia, of which Cornwallius may or may not have been a typical member.
		The desmostylids, especially those better known from the Miocene of Japan, the Pacific Northwest, and possibly Florida, were amphibious in nature, poling themselves through the shallows in the same manner as a hippopotamus “walks” over a riverbed, and prising the occasional clam or oyster from the rocks with its front tusks.
