Los notoungulados se dividían en dos grandes grupos:
-Typotheria: tamaños medio/pequeño y aspecto de liebres o capibaras (izquierda)
-Toxodontia: tamaños medio/grande y aspecto de caballos, rinocerontes o hipopótamos (derecha). Para saber más: https://t.co/jI8jxJF3WO
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
Mixotoxodon larensis was a large mammal from the Americas.

This leads me to wonder if some giant prehistoric mammals could/did do this too. Especially ones without any obvious weapons. Imagine a Macrauchenia, Toxodon, or a Paraceratherium doing this (art by Mark Witton).

Recently I saw a very interesting skull of Trigodon, which is considered as one of the horned toxodontids. I was intrigued since that the nasal bone appears very robust and rugose, so I think, what if it had a protuberance or even a horn above it? (just as a speculation).
