Brontotheres (also sometimes known as "Titanotheres")
were a family of herbivorous (plant-eating)
mammals that lived during the
Eocene and Oligocene epochs of the Paleogene period of
the Cenozoic Era, between
about 56 million and 34 million years ago.
Brontotheres were members of the Perissodactyla order
(odd-toed ungulates), the same group which contains
horses, rhinoceroses and tapirs.
Outwardly, Brontotheres tended to resemble rhinoceroses,
but it is believed that they were probably more closely
related to horses. Early Brontotheres tend to be relatively
small in size, about 3 feet (1 meter) in height, but later
species were much larger, upto 8 feet (2.5 meters) in height.
Later species also had horn like appendages made from bone,
on the front of their snout, and it is believed that
males may have used them in butting competitions for
mates.
Other noteable features of Brontotheres include their
toes (they had three toes on their hind feet,
Ffour toes on their front feet), and their teeth.
Brontothere teeth seem seem to be adapted for
cutting vegetation and have a distinctive shape.
Brontotheres were herbivorous (plant-eating) mammals that lived between 56 and 34 million years ago
