Artist’s rendition of ancient otter (Photo Credit: Mauricio Anton)

A large otter the size of a wolf, roamed the wooded marshlands of China’s Yunnan Province about six million years ago. Xiaoming Wang, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County in California, and her team arrived at this conclusion after an extensive study of fossils found in the 6.2 million-year-old sediment of the Shuitangba coal mine in Yunnan, China in 2010 and 2015.

        That is so awesome! I wonder what the world would be like if these creatures were still around! We'd have to update our otter exhibitions at zoos worldwide for sure!
