Meet Megacerops, a prehistoric powerhouse from the Eocene epoch, and a distant relative of modern-day rhinos. Though similar in appearance, Megacerops actually belonged to a unique group of animals called Brontotheres or "Thunder Beasts." These massive creatures were the largest land mammals of their time, living around 35 million years ago.

Fun Fact: The discovery of Megacerops was a saga of competing paleontologists all trying to be the first to name this remarkable species. The story became even more complicated due to incorrect assumptions by Henry Fairfield Osborn, whose work on the Brontothere family wasn’t fully corrected until the 2000s by paleontologist Matthew Mihlbachler, who created an accurate family tree for these fascinating creatures.
