The CollectA Megacerops figure shows the unique features of this prehistoric mammal, including its robust body, stocky legs, and horned skull. The double horns on the snout are a distinct feature as is the large back hump. Overall a well designed figure.
The CollectA Megacerops measures approximately in inches 4 H x 7.9 L x 2.1 W.
Like a rhinoceros, it probably had fleshy lips and a long tongue, perfect for carefully selecting food.
Megacerops belonged to a group of herbivorous mammals known as perissodactyls, which includes modern-day rhinoceroses, tapirs, and horses. Despite its rhinoceros-like appearance, Megacerops is not closely related to modern rhinos but instead represents a separate evolutionary lineage of large-bodied herbivores.
The name "Megacerops" means "large-horned face" and refers to the distinctive pair of bony protrusions, or horns, found on its skull. These horns likely played a role in intraspecific combat and display, similar to those of modern-day rhinoceroses.
