Cambaytheriidae
Extinct family of mammals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cambaytheriidae[2][3] is a family of primitive four or five-toed ungulates native to the Indian subcontinent. They lived during the Early Eocene epoch and are distinguished by the presence of bunodont teeth suitable for eating tough vegetation. They are related to, but distinct from, the early perissodactyls, and may also be closely related to the anthracobunids as a sister group to the Perissodactyla.[4]
