Ancylotherium

The Ancylotherium (Ancylotherium hennigi) lived in the Miocene period, 6.5-2 million years ago. They lived with the Dinofelis, Australopithecus, Deinotherium, and many other animals. Ancylotherium meant "hooked beast". They were mammals, in a group called the perissodactyl group. Ancylotherium meant "hooked beast".

Ancylotherium was a herbivore so they ate vegetation. They looked a lot like Chalicotheres and acted like them. They were related to the same modern animals. Their closest living relatives are the horses, rhinos, and tapirs. They are about 2 metres at the shoulder. But Ancylotherium weren't related to Chalicotheres. Ancylotherium also didn't walk on their knuckles. They walked on their hands.
