potamogale

[ pot-uh-mog-uh-lee ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

1875–80; < New Latin < Greek potamó ( s ) river + galê weasel

Clavicles are well developed (except in Potamogale), and the humerus generally has an ent-epicondylar foramen.

Clavicles are present, which is not the case with Potamogale.

Even in the Otter-like Potamogale the upper jaw, though broad and flat, projects considerably beyond the lower.

The tibia and fibula are distinct, not confluent with one another as in Potamogale.
