Bothriogenys was a genus of anthracotheres that lived in Eastern Africa during the late Eocene to early Oligocene. Most fossils have been found in Fayum, Egypt, but one species, B. orientalis, is known from late Eocene deposits in Thailand.
In life, they would have resembled hippopotamuses with small, elongated heads.Error: "Q894736" is not a valid Wikidata entity ID.
