Excerpt: Chalicotherium (Ancient Greek /khalix, khalik-: pebble/gravel + /th rion, diminutive of /th r: beast) is a genus of extinct browsing odd-toed ungulates of the order Perissodactyla and family Chalicotheriidae, endemic to Europe, Africa, and Asia during the Late Oligocene to Lower Pliocene, living from 16-7.75 mya, existing for approximately . This animal would look much like other chalicotheriid species: an odd looking herbivore with long clawed forelimbs and stouter weight bearing hindlimbs. The type species, Chalicotherium goldfussi, from Miocene and Pliocene Europe, was described by J. J. Kaup in 1833 and since then 7 other species have been confidently assigned to this genus. According to current phylogenetic analyses Chalicotherium has two daughter genera nested within it, Anisodon Lartet, 1851 and Nestoritherium J. J. Kaup, 1859, thus rendering it p...
