Etymology





Bramatherium perimense skull


The first part of the generic name, Brahma (Sanskrit masculine brahman-, nominative brahmā ब्रह्मा), is in reference to the Hindu god of creation. The second part, "therium", comes from the Greek word θηρίον (transliterated therion), meaning 'beast'.



Description


Bramatherium was built very similarly to Sivatherium. Alive, it would have resembled a heavily built Okapi and had a crown-like set of four, radiating ossicones.
