About: Honanotherium

An Entity of Type: mammal, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Honanotherium is a genus of extinct giraffid from the late Miocene of Henan Province, China, and East Azerbaijan Province, northwestern Iran. It was closely related to Bohlinia and was once thought to be ancestral to the modern giraffe (genus Giraffa). The living animal would have resembled a modern giraffe, but was somewhat shorter, with more massive ossicones. The first part of the generic name, honano refers to the Henan (Chinese: 河南; pinyin: Hénán) province of China, where the first specimens were recovered. The second part, therium, comes from the Greek, θηρίον which means "beast."

  • Honanotherium schlosseri es una especie extinta de mamíferos placentarios del orden de los artiodáctilos, familia Giraffidae y, por lo tanto, muy parecido a las actuales jirafas. Se han encontrado restos fósiles del Mioceno en la provincia de Hunan, China. Pese a su parecido con las jirafas modernas, los Honanotherium eran mucho menos altos. (es)
  • Lo honanoterio (gen. Honanotherium) è un mammifero artiodattilo estinto, appartenente ai giraffidi. Visse nel Miocene superiore (circa 8 milioni di anni fa) e i suoi resti fossili sono stati ritrovati in Cina e in Iran. (it)
  • Honanotherium – wymarły rodzaj ssaków kopytnych z rodziny żyrafowatych. Żyło w późnym miocenie. Zamieszkiwało dzisiejsze Chiny. Odnaleziono je w prowincji Hunan. Być może był to przodek dzisiejszej żyrafy. Przypominało ją, ale było nieco krótsze. (pl)
  • 河南獸(Honanotherium)是現今長頸鹿的祖先,生存於中新世晚期的中國河南。牠的外觀像現今的長頸鹿,但較為短小。 河南獸屬下有一種,名為舒氏河南獸,是以德國古生物學家M. Schlosser來命名的。 (zh)
