Siamogale is anextinct genus of giantotter from theLate Miocene toEarly Pliocene of eastern Asia. Threespecies are currentlyknown,S. thailandica andS. bounosa fromThailand andS. melilutra fromChina.^[1]

Palaeoecology

[edit]

Analysis of the functionalmorphology of thepostcranium ofS. melilutra suggests that it occupied a similarecological niche to the present dayAonyx: a shoreline forager that often moved about on land. It would have been more inhibited bydrag when moving throughwater relative to other otters.^[2]
