Plesiaceratherium


Plesiaceratherium is an extinct genus of rhinocerotids. 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 in head-body length, in shoulder height, and in weight. Males had significantly larger incisors than females and had more robust heads and bodies, and combined with their large body size it suggests that this species was polygynous and had a solitary lifestyle.
