Summary
editDescriptionMoropus oregonensis.jpg | Moropus oregonensis was a large perissodactyl (odd toed) that moved about on clawed feet instead of hooves. Much like a giant ground sloth, it would have used its claws to bring food down from low hanging branches or aid in its defense from predators. Moropus means “slow foot,” as the name implies its clawed feet and pigeon-toed gait made this calicothere a clumsy mover. |
