The species articles should be merged here per wikiproject paleontology general practice to have articles to extinct genus level only and treat species in the genus page as there is often very little different information wise between genus and species.--Kevmin (talk) 16:32, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I concur

Like several other articles, i.e. Moropus and others, there is little distinction between species with usually a slight difference in the skull (canids), dentition, or vertebrae (Basilosaurus). Review editor, Noles1984 (talk) 01:17, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Giant beavers are mentioned in some Native American oral literature, explicitly as an extinct animal. It seems possible that these stories refer to the Castoroides, so it would be good to discuss them here, if a decent source of information can be found (I don't know of one). 2601:441:4480:53B0:5889:DA4B:3BA7:42E4 (talk) 02:16, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I found one source dealing with that question:

https://www.jstor.org/stable/481746?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contents (preview)

However, I didn't find any claim of a connection with Bigfoot or Skunk Ape, as mentioned here earlier. So this would rather be of interest for cryptozoological forums, not for Wikipedia.

Er, I didn't mention Bigfoot or Skunk Apes, or claim they're related to giant beavers. The legends I have read are only about giant beavers and are certainly relevant to Castoroides. 2601:441:4400:1740:C62:D39:D299:2C0B (talk) 15:11, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I found one thing about an Algonquin myth, but feel free to add anything else if you find more   User:Dunkleosteus77 |push to talk  19:07, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
