- Georges Cuvier's published sketch and unpublished sketch with outline of an incomplete skeletal reconstruction of Anoplotherium commune, ~1812. Cuvier once reconstructed the paleobiology of A. commune as a semi-aquatic animal that ate aquatic plants based on its robust build. This perception persisted for over a century but was eventually disproved. Today, the endemic Paleogene genus is thought to be a browser with bipedal adaptations like the gerenuk, chalicotheres, and ground sloths. (en)
