Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Uintatherium is an extinct genus of mammals. Fossil remains were discovered near Fort Bridger, Wyoming, United States. Uintatherium was a large browsing animal, about the size of a rhinoceros. Its most unusual feature was the skull, large and strongly built and, at the same time, flat and concave skull: this feature is not found in any other mammal, save, perhaps in some brontotheres. Its cranial cavity was exceptionally small due the walls of the cranium being excedingly thick. The weight of the skull was mitigated by numerous sinuses permeating the walls of the cranium, like those in an elephant''s skull. The large upper canines were apparently formidable defensive weapons, which resembled the canines of the saber-toothed cats and were larger in males than in females.
