Description

Name: Ancylotherium Pentelicum
Class: Mammal
Diet: Herbivore
Size: 6.6 feet tall, 990 pounds
Range: Europe, Asia, and Africa, 6.5 to 1.8 Million years B.C
Habitat: Savannah
Environmental Status: Extinct
Description: The Ancylotherium is a species of chalicothere that lived between the Late Miocene and the Early Pleistocene Epoch, it actually lived around the same time as one of mankind's early ancestors, the Australopithecus.  These peaceful herbivores would grow to be slightly bigger than a modern day human, with a body build almost similar to a goat, but with many differences, the arms are longer than its legs, and unlike other chalicotheres, the Ancylotherium does not walk on its knuckles like Giant Anteaters do today, it also does not have the same claws that were used for stripping vegetation from trees that other members of its family have, like the Chalicotherium.  The Ancylotherium has some relatives that are still alive today, they are known as the Perissodactyls, also known as the Odd-Toed Ungulates, this order of creatures includes the chalicotheres, horses, tapirs, and rhinos that share a similar role in nature as a peaceful grazer, but can be dangerous if provoked.
Mod: Majestic Megafauna
Personal Thoughts: I like how this one is modeled in the game, it really fits the real life Ancylotherium, plus I am also glad the creator used textures somewhat similar to the Ancylotherium seen in Walking With Beasts, even though we don't get much info on it in the actual documentary.  Anyways, this animal in the game has no bugs or glitches and the modeling and textures are realistic.
My Rating: 10/10
