}}Metaschizotherium is an extinct genus that belongs to the family Chalicotheriidae, which was a group of herbivorous perissodactyl ("odd-toed") mammals. Though found primarily in Europe, fragmentary remains suggest that their range extended into Asia. This genus is typically associated with areas of closed, moist forest, where it fed on relatively soft leaves and shoots compared to a more abrasive diet of twigs and bark.[1] References1. ^{{cite journal | last = Coombs | first = Margery C. | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = The chalicothere Metaschizotherium bavaricum (Perissodactyla, Chalicotheriidae, Schizotheriinae) from the Miocene (MN5) Lagerstatte of Sandelzhausen (Germany): description, comparison, and paleoecological significance | journal = Paläontologische Zeitschrift | volume = 83 | issue = 1 | pages = 85–129 | publisher = Springer Berlin / Heidelberg | location = | date = 13 Feb 2009 | url = http://www.springerlink.com/content/y4j07463lw037161/ | doi = 10.1007/s12542-009-0004-x | id = | accessdate = 2009-12-31}} See also
