Our Plastic Arsinoitherium Extinct Animal Our small plastic Arsinoitherium toy is just the right size replica for your prehistoric life shoebox diorama. This little Arsinoitherium model will fit in a shoe box along with other examples of extinct animals from the Earth's past. Add a few rocks, plants, grass, make a river or stream from anything that strikes your imagination, and there you go - a scene of life on our planet as it might have been millions of years ago. Our plastic toy Eocene mammal is painted to look the way paleontologists imagine the animal looked in real life, although of course nobody really knows.
A complete skeleton was found in Egypt near the tomb of Queen Arsinoe and from which this ancient elephant and rhino-like animal gets its name. That's part of the fun and mystery - you can imagine Uintatherium any way you like! It is made of solid plastic and is quite durable. The name "Arsinoitherium" is molded onto the bottom of the animal. Be sure to take a look at our other prehistoric figurines. At approximately 6 feet tall and 11 feet long, Arsinoitherium zitteli is similar in size and shape to the White Rhinoceros. With its giant twin horns, it looks like a fanciful version of a rhino, however, it is not closely related to rhinos at all. Instead, it’s a genus of paenungulate mammals, which include Elephants, Sirena (dugongs and manatees), hyraxes, and the extinct Desmostylians.
