    My knowledge of Greek via dinosaur names enables to know Megacerops means Big Horned Face, Everyone knows mega, cer/cera is face and ops/tops is face.
    Megacerops was fairly large, it would be the third largest land animal living today. It stood 8 feet tall and could weigh over 4 tons. Supposedly it was related to horses. It lived from 38 million years ago to 34 million. Typically a species will last about 5 million years before extinction. This one lived halfway between the age of dinosaurs and know.
    The figure here is made up to look like a rhinoceros. Probably accurate that it had little fur as that is typical with large mammals other than the Ice Age. I think this is one of their better sculpts.
    The last photo I took at the Los Angeles County Museum. There is a huge collection of dinosaur and prehistoric mammals there.
