was a large rhino-like horse-ancestor alive during the Eocene. Most art of the Megacerops make them very rhinolike, so i wanted to embrace the more horse like quality of fur, got a little bit bison-like, but im into it.

Today we had a very special We looked into the anatomy, ecology and phylogeny of one of the earliest and WEIRDEST proboscideans ever! It's a roughly tapir sized animal from the Eocene of Algeria, from the El Kohol formation. (1/many)
