Arsinoitherium

''Arsinoitherium'' is an extinct genus of paenungulate mammal belonging to the extinct order Embrithopoda. It is related to elephants, sirenians, hyraxes and the extinct desmostylians. Arsinoitheres were elephant-like herbivores that lived during the late Eocene and the early Oligocene of northern Africa from 36 to 30 million years ago, in areas of tropical rainforest and at the margin of mangrove swamps. A newly discovered species, ''Arsinoitherium giganteum'', lived in Ethiopia ~27 million years ago.
==Etymology==
The generic name ''Arsinoitherium'' comes from Queen Arsinoe after whom the Fayum, the region in which the fossils were found, was called during Ptolemaic times, and the Greek: (therion), "beast". The species epithet of the type species, ''A. zitteli'', was given to it in honor of the eminent German paleontologist Karl Alfred von Zittel, regarded by some as the pioneer of paleontology in Egypt.
