Los perisodáctilos de hoy comprenden sólo los equinos, los rinocerontes y los tapires pero en el pasado había muchas más especies, y tan extrañas y enormes como "Brontotherium" o "Uintatherium". Para saber más: https://t.co/FN8Ul3FDzJ
A closer relative to Embolo would be Aktautitan, who forms a sister group to Embolo and its relatives. This animal is known from very complete individuals preserved mired, with much stockier limbs then other brontotheres, resembling hippos, Toxodon or Teleoceras
There's 2 taxa that might make good references for Embolo. One is Rhinotitan, a tall browser from the mid Eocene of China. This probably represents the common ancestor to both groups of derived brontotheres that crossed over from Asia to NA
So, Brontotheriidae is a diverse group of Eocene perissodactyls closer to horses then rhinos or tapirs. Outside of the huge famous ones there are many cool smaller sp, like the tapir-sized Dolichorhinus, who rerouted its entire nasal passage for more effecient smelling
Well seeing as we're all still here on #FossilFriday, here's some vaguely organized thoughts on reconstructing the largest, latest surviving Brontotheres 🧵
Thanks @snail0x for catching the last brontosaurus in my Clods' Pet series for @cryptovoxels !

G1 Sludge's alt mode was originally identified as a Brontosaurus, but more recent depictions (such as the 2005 IDW continuity) changed this to a different sauropod species like Apatosaurus, due to Brontosaurus (at the time) not being considered as a proper genus of animal.

With their spears strapped to their horns and their armor of braided leather, the warrior stallions will protect their tribe with their lives.

Some enemies I think I can more easily class as a collective species without necessarily needing one standout individual, however. Wheelie, Scarfy, and Bronto Burt all feel like this to me
Next, in third place, the Bronze Brontotherium winner is @Fazledazzle with the Lich as a Triceratops horridus!
@Mouellette139 You rang?????? Oh I thought you said Bronto.
