		Answer: Fossils of Moeritherium are nearly always found in areas that were rivers, deltas or swamps which tells us that they liked to live in wet places.
		Answer: Moeritherium's teeth are flat and grinding, like those of other elephants, and it probably fed on waterside vegetation and possibly seagrass which grew in shallow water.
		Moeritherium's closest living relatives - the elephants and the sea cows - have no hair and so we thought it best to reconstruct Moeritherium with no hair at all and a similar skin to its living cousins.

	Moeritherium
		Andrews, 1906 - } Das Moeritherium ist der früheste bekannte Vertreter der Rüsseltiere (Proboscidea) und damit der älteste Vorfahr der heutigen Elefanten.
		Moeritherium wurde gefunden an der Oase El Fayum in Ägypten und wurde benannt nach dem See Moeri, der dort in der Urzeit existiert haben soll.
		Unter den Nachfahren des Moeritherium finden sich Phiomia, die Deinotherien (Hauerelefanten) und über das Palaeomastodon auch die Mastodonten und später die Echten Elefanten mit den Mammuts und den heute lebenden Elefantenarten.

		Moeritherium ('the beast from Lake Moeris') is a genus consisting of several species.
		However, Moeritherium was a branch of the family that evolved in a quite different way, having only a stubby trunk and short legs.
		Moeritherium is not believed to be an ancestor of modern elephants; it was a branch of the order that died out, leaving no descendants.

	Elephants
		The original ancestor of the elephant, known to man, was the Moeritherium.
		In this transition stage, the more well known intermediate ascendants after the "little Moeritherium", were the mammoths and the mastodons.
		The main changes brought about in these species by evolution was in the over all size, the development of the proboscis (or trunk) and the increase in length of the seconds pair of teeth on the upper jaw (tusks).

	The genus Moeritherium, ancestor of elephants
		The genus Moeritherium, (from lake Moeris, an ancient egyptian name for the oasis in El Fayum in Egypt, where the first specimen was found 1904 by Charles Andrews, and Therion: greek for animal) has its origins in Miocene, about 50 million years ago.
		Moeritherium is regarded as ancestor for the mammal order proboscidea, which includes all elephants.

		Moeritherium was een vroege vorm van de olifanten, hij beschikte al over een soort kleine slagtanden, een kort slurfje en zo zijn er nog meer kenmerken.
		Het is echter niet een directe voorouder van de hededaagse olifanten, Moeritherium was een langlevend Genus, het overleefde tot in het Oligoceen toen er al modernere olifanten voorkwamen.

	The Elephant Sanctuary, Hohenwald, Tennessee
		The ancestors of modern elephants first appear in the fossil record during the Eocene Period, or about 45 to 55 million years ago.
		Like the earliest ancestors of many other animals, the first elephant -- Moeritherium (meer-uh-THEER-ee-um) -- was quite different from today's elephant.
		Gradually, possibly in response to the earth's cooling temperatures, the descendants of Moeritherium grew larger in size and developed the nose-upper lip combination that makes elephants so unique today.

		Recent advances in knowledge of numidothere anatomy are then analyzed in a cladistic treatment of basal proboscidean genera using dental, cranial, and postcranial data.
		The traditional use of Moeritherium as the closest approximation to the proboscidean ancestral condition in interordinal phylogenetic analysis is shown to be flawed.
		Moeritherium is better treated as an early specialized offshoot of the lineage leading to more derived, graviportal proboscideans.

		It is thought that modern African and Indian elephants may have originated in Asia but the earliest fossils of the Proboscidea order have been found in Africa.
		The oldest, Moeritherium, which lived about 35-50 million years ago during what is called the Eocene period was named after Egypt's Lake Moeris where its remains were found.
		However, as the Proboscidean species evolved, the animals grew larger with longer limbs, their skull, teeth and tusk size increased and a mobile trunk developed.
