Afrotheria

Afrotheria is a superorder in the theory of taxonomy. As its name suggests it contains animals that, a very long time ago, had ancestors of African origins. Living Afrotherians contain a great variety of animals, from rodent-like, to marine, to the largest animal on land. This is why elephants' closest relatives are hyraxes, a large rodent-like animals. The earliest known Afrotherians would be the animals from the genuses Abdounodus and Ocepeia. They were rodent-like insectivores.https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Afrotheria&oldid=1137034057
