Running Rhino

$0.00

Hyracodon (Late Eocene – Early Miocene)

Hyracodon, or the Running Rhino, was a small and graceful member of the rhino family. They functioned more like horses than their modern rhino counterparts, as they were hornless with long, slender legs. They were about the size of a pony, and likely used their agility to flee from predators rather than fight them. Hyracodons lived throughout North America and Asia, only going extinct from climate change and loss of habitat.
