'''You may think that Ancylotherium is a freak of nature but, in reality this strange is nonetheless an animal related to horses despite being distant relatives in the evolutionary branch. Sadly these animals died out when more modern and more advanced animals were starting to evolve around the world, for these animals were not built for speed no defenses unlike the normal African mammals of today which are built to avoid predators and great distances. Their only defense may have been in groups or their upper body strength in their front limbs, if anything else they were very peaceful creatures and possibly even had a timid nature and unlike it's Asian cousin namely Chalicotherium they did not walk on their knuckles with their front limbs but, more like how modern animals walk.'''

Even though these animals had great disadvantages Ancylotherium had a striking height of at least 2m High taller than most Equine animals, allowing it to gain access to plants too high for any normal animals to feast on.
