	Embolotherium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Embolotherium ('battering ram beast') is an extinct genus of brontothere that lived in Mongolia during the late Eocene period.
		This hypothesis is suggested by the fact that the bony nasal cavity extends to the peak of the ram, thus implying that the nasal chamber was greatly elevated, possibly creating a resonating chamber.
		Other supposed species of Embolotherium are probably synonymous with these two species and were originally based on juvenile skulls, poorly preserved fossil material, or specimens that are not significantly different from either E.

	Embolotherium (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Embolotherium (' bestia del espolón de estropicio ') es un género extinto del brontothere que vivió en Mongolia durante el último período de Eocene.
		Varias especies de Embolotherium se han nombrado, incluyendo el andrewsi de Embolotherium, el grangeri de Embolotherium, el louksi de Embolotherium, el ultimum de Embolotherium, el ergilensi de Embolotherium, y el efremovi de Embolotherium.
		Otras especies supuestas de Embolotherium son probablemente synonomous con estas dos especies y fueron basadas originalmente en los cráneos juveniles, el material fósil mal preservado, o los especímenes que no son importante diferentes de andrewsi del E. o de grangeri del E..

	The Brontotheres/Titanotheres
		The bony "horn" of Embolotherium is considerably larger than the knobs seen on Brontops or Brontotherium.
		Embolotherium's eyes were set well forward, at the base of the horn, to allow it to see.
		Embolotherium had a shallow skull with a brain the size of a human fist.

		See Text {{Taxobox_end}} '''''Embolotherium''''' ('battering ram beast') is an extinct genus of brontotheria brontothere that lived in Mongolia during the late Eocene period.
		There is no clear evidence that ''Embolotherium'' was sexual dimorphism sexually dimorphic.
		Other supposed species of ''Embolotherium'' are probably synonymous with these two species and were originally based on juvenile skulls, poorly preserved fossil material, or specimens that are not significantly different from either ''E. andrewsi'' or ''E. grangeri''.

	BBC - Science & Nature - Wildfacts - Brontothere, Embolotherium
		Brontotheres were a group of animals common and widespread in the late Eocene, related to the chalicotheres, rhinos, tapirs and horses.
		Brontothere = "Thunder Beast", Embolotherium = "Battering Ram Beast".
		You can search for animals by their common or scientific name.

	BBC - Science - Beasts - Evidence - Programme 2 - Brontothere (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The brontotheres, such as Embolotherium, lived in huge herd on the plains of Mongolia at the eastern end of the Tethys Sea between Eurasia and Africa.
		The fossils of Embolotherium show that they had bony growths on the ends of their noses.
		This means that they were not strong like a rhino's horn, and would have shattered painfully if used as a ram (despite 'Embolotherium' meaning 'battering ram beast').

		Both can be traced to 60 million years ago, but it took these newcomers a long time to oust the 'wolf-sheep' completely.
		The carcass of an Embolotherium would have provided a feast for a gathering of Andrewsarchus 37 million years ago.
		It lumhered across the plains of Mongolia, scavenging from the carcasses of huge herbivores such as Embolotherium, a 4.5-metre (15-feet) long rhinoceros-like beast with a grotesque head.

	BBC - Science and Nature - Beasts - Evidence - Programme 2 - Brontothere
		Answer: The fossils of Embolotherium (the brontothere featured in the series) show that they have bony growths on the ends of their noses.
		These aren't like horns, which are made of keratin (the substance that hair and fingernails is made of).
		This means that they were more brittle a rhino's horn, and would have shattered painfully if used as a ram (despite 'Embolotherium' meaning 'battering ram beast').

	REVIEW WWB EPISODE II
		The brontotheres did not look so good in my opinion - too much bending in their forelimbs and too shiny (a la dromaeosaurs in JPIII).
		I think they were based on _Embolotherium_, but, hold on...
		The horn shape was certainly right for _Embolotherium_, plus it was hailed as one of the very last brontotheres, so this would fit.

	WALKING WITH BEASTS RUNDOWN
		Episode 2: Whale Killer Focuses I think on Late Eocene Asia with _Andrewsarchus_ as main character.
		_Basilosaurus_ and _Dorudon_ in this episode (_Dorudon_ is N. American but _Basilosaurus_ is known from Pakistan), ditto _Moeritherium_ and _Embolotherium_ (one of the last brontotheres).
		Episode 3: Land of Giants _Paraceratherium_ together with the large entelodont (which I though was _Daeodon_, but apparently isn't), _Hyaenodon_, _Chalicotherium_ and others.

		Its huge, curved tusks grew to 10 feet or more in length.
		There were massive plant eaters that looked like a cross between a rhinoceros and a hippopotamus, with names like Brontotherium (bron-toe-THER-ee-um) and Embolotherium (em-bow-low-THER-ee-um).
		And there were fierce predators like the saber-toothed tiger, a giant cat with 8-inch long fangs jutting down from its upper jaws.
