Acerathere

/ˈæsərəˌðɪr/ noun

Definition

An extinct prehistoric mammal related to rhinoceroses, characterized by having small or reduced horns, from the Oligocene and Miocene epochs.

Etymology

From Greek 'acer' (keen, sharp) + 'ther' (beast/animal). The name possibly refers to the animal's sharp features or was given as a distinctive genus name in paleontology.

Kelly Says

Aceratheres were the forgotten rhinos—they roamed North America millions of years ago before actual rhinos showed up, and they disappeared mysteriously around the same time as many other megafauna, raising questions about climate change in deep time.
