A typical brontothere, Brontops was a huge rhinoceros-like creature standing 2.50 m (8 ft 4 in) tall at the shoulder. It looked similar to the better known Brontotherium, possessing the same pair of blunt, horn-like protrusions on its snout (but shorter). The skeleton of an adult male was found with partially healed rib fractures support the theory that males used their 'horns' to fight each other. No creature living in Brontops's time and area except another Brontops could have inflicted such an injury. The breathing movements prevented the fractures from completely healing.
