Odontotyrannos

Odontotyrannos

The Odontotyrannos is a Greek mythological beast that attacked Alexander the Great and his men at their camp. It was reptilian, one-horned, and green-tinged. It was eventually slain by the Greeks and it took 1,300 men to carry its body away. Many scientists have proposed the possibility that it was a rhinoceros. [1]
