Subhyracodon
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox Subhyracodon (Latin: "below the genus Hyracodon"[1]) is an extinct genus of hornless rhinocerotids. With a length of Template:Cvt and an estimated weight of Template:Cvt in S. mitis,Script error: No such module "Unsubst". it was a tapir-sized herbivore on the plains of early Oligocene South Dakota 33 million years ago. It coexisted with other perissodactyls such as horses, brontotheres, and chalicotheres.[2] Subhyracodon had no horns, relying more on its speed to escape from predators, but a species found at Wind Cave National Park had a pair of bony nasal ridges.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The genus Caenopus and species originally referred to as Aceratherium were synonymized into Subhyracodon.[3] It has been suggested to be one of the oldest known members of the subfamily Elasmotheriinae by some studies,[4] though other studies place it firmly outside the Rhinocerotinae-Elasmotheriinae split.[5]
