Wholesale Arsinoitherium Twin Horned Prehistoric Mammal Figurine Toy

This is a 6.5' painted resin figurine toy. At approximately 6 feet tall and 11 feet long, Arsinoitherium zitteli is similar in size and shape to the White Rhinoceros. With its giant twin horns, it looks like a fanciful version of a rhino, however, it is not closely related to rhinos at all. Instead, it’s a genus of paenungulate mammals, which include Elephants, Sirena (dugongs and manatees), hyraxes, and the extinct Desmostylians. Arsinoitherium’s bone structure is very different than a rhino’s. Examples include its columnar legs, which are distinctly elephant-like, plus its elephant-like hips, feet, and skull features. The horns are also very different from a rhinoceros. These twin horns could grow to over 2.5 feet in length. The animal also had a much smaller pair of horns above the eyes. Rhino horns are completely made of keratin, where Arsinoitherium horns are hollow and made of bone. Witton briefly looked at the structure of the horns and compared them to modern cows.
