Here’s a Friday challenge for you… can you guess the species? (Hint: Mammal phylogenetic relationships are sometimes just plain weird)…

Sloth 🦥!

Yay! Correct answer is Dugong! Am I the only one weirded out (in a good way) by the Paenungulata phylogeny? 🤯

Some close guesses but no correct answers so far. I’ll give it another day and then post the answer 😉

Dugong

It looks elephant-like, but that's as much as I know.

This looks like some kind of boar to me

I'm going with an early whale. The large hole in the top of the skull looks like it could be for sending out echolocation pulses.

Dassi/hyrax?
