It evolved from the even larger and much more wide-spread species Hydrodamalis cuestae, and the smaller size was possibly a result of the small area where Hydrodamalis gigas lived as well as the geographical range in the north.

I have not read the article yet but did that drawing appear in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology?
Was the inset scull the only remains that lead to the reconstruction?
The illustrator has drawn a set of hind legs (though only one of the set showing).
I know Sirenia have vestigial hind limbs, but they are well hidden in the skeleton and do not erupt through
the outside of the body. Are they saying that the hind limbs were functional in Eotheroides lambondrano?
