Schizotheriinae
Schizotheriines make up a clade of the extinct family Chalicotheriidae, a group of herbivorous, odd-toed ungulate mammals. Unlike the gorilla-like proportions of other chalicotheres, schizotheriines had smaller body proportions, closer to those of Moropus. Analysis of dental microwear implies most Miocene Schizotheriinae fed on leaves, bark and twigs. Their claws were most likely used in a hook-like manner to pull down branches, suggesting they lived as bipedal browsers.
