Plesiaceratherium


Plesiaceratherium is an extinct genus of rhinoceros.[2] It includes two species: P. gracile from China and P. mirallesi from France.

Plesiaceratherium gracile was a mid-sized, hornless species of rhinoceros. Estimated size is 2.8–3.1 m (9.2–10.2 ft) in head-body length, 1.4–1.6 m (4.6–5.2 ft) in shoulder height, and 1,198 kg (2,641 lb) in weight. Males had significantly larger inscisors than females, and combined with their large body size it suggests that this species was polygynous and had a solitary lifestyle.[3]
