When alive, they would have borne a strong but superficial resemblance to modern rhinoceroses; however, they were not closely related to them (or any other perissodactyl), instead being more closely related to hyraxes, elephants, sirenians, and possibly desmostylians (as part of the superorder Afrotheria).

The rhinophant (Arsinoitherium zitteli) is a species of paenungulate mammals belonging to the order Embrithopoda that originally lived in what is now northern Africa during the late Eocene through the early Oligocene of northern Africa from 36 to 27 million years ago and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by ...

Arsinoitherium was a large, extinct mammal resembling a rhinoceros, known for its two massive, forward-curving horns on its snout. It lived in the late Eocene to early Oligocene epochs, primarily in North Africa, inhabiting swampy and forested regions. Arsinoitherium had a robust body and limbs suited for weight-bearing.

Arsinoitherium (right) is by far the best-known member of the extinct mammalian order Embrithopoda. Embrithopods looked something like rhinos but were more closely related to elephants. Arsinoitherium had two great bony horns on its head, unlike living rhinos, in which the horns are not bony but formed from modified hair papillae. It is now ...

Arsinoitheres were superficially rhinoceros-like herbivores that lived during the late Eocene and the early Oligocene of northern Africa from 36 to 30 million years ago, in areas of tropical rainforest and at the margin of mangrove swamps. A species described in 2004, A. giganteum, lived in Ethiopia about 27 million years ago.
