    The arsinoitherium was a rather robust rhinocerous sized mammal from around 30 million years ago. It is a confusing animal due to some contradictory points.

    Both males and females had horns. I have theory by me that the the horns on the prehistoric mammals was to fend off the other large prehistoric mammals and not predators. The predators were not all that large and large herbivores tend to be quite aggressive. Anyway that is my theory by me.
