Megatylopus

Megatylopus is the name of a really big and cool animal that lived a long time ago. It was kind of like a horse, but much bigger than any horse you know today. In fact, it was so big that it would be as tall as a house!

It had four really strong legs that it used to run really fast, and it also had a long neck and a big head. Megatylopus used to eat plants like grass and leaves because it was a plant-eating animal, also known as herbivore.

Scientists know about Megatylopus because they have found fossil bones and teeth of it in the ground. Fossils are like old bones or body parts that have been buried underground for a very long time and are now hard like rock. By studying these fossils, scientists can learn a lot about Megatylopus and what it was like to live in the past.
