Discussion

  • Body temperature guessd from Dugong

Facts

  • Extinct since 1887 (Ref: Wiki)
  • Unlike other sirenians, it was positively buoyant, meaning that it was unable to completely submerge (Ref: Wiki)
  • Hydrodamalis was characterized by increased size, and a loss of teeth and phalanges; fed on kelp (Ref: Wiki)
