    Titanotheres first appeared in the Eocene epoch as small animals resembling horses. Over time they evolved to grow larger, reaching heights of 2.5 meters tall in the Oligocene epoch. Their legs lengthened and strengthened to support their increasing size. Later titanotheres developed horns from knobs on their nostrils and came to resemble rhinoceros with stocky bodies and horns, before ultimately going extinct just as they peaked in development.

    Titanotheres

    • Titanotheres first appeared in the Eocene epoch.

    • The first Titanotheres were small and looked like


    Hyracotherium, the first horse.

    • Titanotheres grew larger as they evolved.

    • By the Oligocene epoch, they were about 2.5m


    tall.

    • Their legs grew longer and stronger to support


    their larger bodies.

    • Knobs near the nostrils of the early Titanotheres
    changed into horns in the later Titanotheres.

    • The later Titanotheres had stocky bodies and


    horns, and looked like a Rhinoceros.

    • Titanotheres evolved rapidly, but just as they


    seemed to reach the height of their development,
    they become extinct.
