Do you consider elephants aquatic?Elephants (closest relatives of Sirenia, no fur, very large body, very large brain for body size, voluntary breathing & sound productions, trunk...) are ex-semi-aquatic, probably along the Tethys Ocean -> Ind.Ocean etc. still Pleistocene: my 2022 book,

Dogs go into water sometimes also. And there is a cat in the Brazilian rainforest that hunts under water.

I seek clarity.

Good boy!
Here it is:
Plate Tectonics & Hominoid Splittings:
~30 Ma India approaching S-Asia formed island archipels with coastal forests++.
~25 Ma Catarrhini reaching these islands became wading bipedally + climbing arms overhead -> aquarboreal Hominoidea.
~20 Ma India further underneath Asia split hylobatids (E) & other=great apes (W), both following N-Tethys coastal forests (E vs W).
~15 Ma the Mesopotamian Seaway Closure split pongids-sivapiths (E) & hominids-dryopiths (W: Medit.Sea + incipient Red Sea: swamp forests).
~8 Ma in Red Sea: N-Rift fm, followed by Gorilla -> Afar -> Praeanthropus afarensis Lucy etc. -> boisei -> today G.gorilla & G.beringei.
~5 Ma the Red Sea opening into the Gulf (Francesca Mansfield: caused by Zanclean mega-flood 5.33 Ma?) split Homo & Pan:
– Pan went right: E.Afr.coastal forests -> S-Rift -> Transvaal -> Australopith.africanus -> robustus (// Gorilla) -> today P.troglodytes & P.paniscus,
– Homo went left: S.Asian coasts -> Java early-Pleist.H.erectus shallow-diving for shellfish:
pachy-osteo-sclerosis, DHA, brain++, stone tools, shell engravings google "Joordens Munro", ...
mid- -> late-Pleist.: diving -> wading -> walking H.sapiens. https://www.gondwanatalks.com/l/the-waterside-hypothesis-wading-led-to-upright-walking-in-early-humans/
