Clawed Mesoron

The clawed mesoron (Ancylotherium africanus) is a species of modern day Chalicothere native to East and South African open woodlands, savannah, and scrublands. Despite its name, it is not a mesoron, but an Ancylotherium species that remained entirely unchanged for 4 million years. The clawed mesoron is a complete herbivore, feeding mainly on leaves, fruits, shrubs, bulbs, and tubers. The clawed mesorons live in small family groups up to about 5 in a single herd, and are completely tame towards sapient species/beings (including humans) and dylanuses, as they never hunted them (due to their meats' poor tasting) and poss no threat to clawed mesorons. However, the clawed mesorons use their claws for defense against predators such as hyenas and lions. The conservation status of clawed mesorons is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, their wide natural range, and their tolerance to human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
