Uintatherium. Artist's impression of two Uintatherium (Uintatherium robustum),extinct mammals that lived during the Eocene epoch,52-36 million years ago. They belong to the same group as horses,rhinos and tapirs,although they most resemble modern-day rhinoceroses,or elephants. These herbivores evolved to huge body sizes,up to 1.6 metres high at the shoulder,and 4 metres long. Their heads were adorned with six bony protrusions and their upper jaws grew a pair large dagger-like tusks | |
