Teleoceras
Miocene
Nebraska, USA
Teleoceras was a grazing rhinoceros that possessed much shorter legs than the modern rhino, making its build more like a hippopotamus than a modern rhinoceros. It is possible that it was also, like the hippo, semi-aquatic. Teleoceras lived in North American during the Miocene through the Early Pliocene. The present specimen is mounted on a faux matrix and displays much of the postcranial skeleton. Measures 44 x 25 x 25in
