Description
"Brontotherium gigas ("giant thunder-beast"), not to be confused with the smaller Brontops ("thunder-face"), was a large, extinct brontothere perissodactyl from the Eocene of central North America. Brontotherium resembled an enormous rhinoceros with a knobby, "Y"-shaped horn at the end of its nose, and was around two and a half meters (8 feet) at the shoulders. Because of its simple teeth, and rhinoceros-like skull, it is believed that Brontotherium selectively browsed on soft twigs and tender leaves. The name is a reference to Sioux Indian legends, which spoke of "thunder horses" that lived in storm clouds, and whose corpses fell to earth after the rains had passed (when the bones were eroded out of the ground)."
