Dinocerata (from the Greek δεινός (deinós), "terrible", and κέρας (kéras), "horn") or Uintatheria,[1] also known as uintatheres, is an extinct order of large herbivorous hoofed mammals with horns and protuberant canine teeth, known from the Paleocene and Eocene of Asia and North America. With body masses ranging up to 4,500 kilograms (9,900 lb) they represent some of the earliest known large mammals.[2]
