On 23 July 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Chalicothere to Chalicotheriidae. The result of the discussion was moved.

Chalicotherium

Why does "Chalicotherium" redirect here? "Chalicotherium" and "chalicothere" are different! Chalicothere is a group of animals that Chalicotherium belongs to, while Chalicotherium is a kind of animal! Dora Nichov 04:08, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Size issues

I have removed the following text from the page:

"The chalicotheres height when resting was 2.6 meters (eight and half feet) for males and 1.8 meters (almost six feet) for females."

The reason I removed it was because this seems to be talking about Chalicotherium in particular (Ancylotherium was only 2 meters in height, and I suspect Moropus differed as well). Putting this information on the page for chalicotheres in general is like saying that all tyrannosaurs were forty feet long. If someone actually makes a page specifically for Chalicotherium, then this could be incorporated there. 71.217.98.158 01:30, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There should be a guide to pronunciation here.--193.130.15.240 (talk) 11:15, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They existed for 55 million years and evolved 40 million years ago? I wouldn't have a problem with them existing for the next 15 million years but this dosn't seem right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.104.231.154 (talk) 13:22, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Chalicothere → Chalicotheriidae – Taxonomic fossil families pages like that of the Entelodontidae should be named by family names and not "common" taxonomic names, similar to other pages such as the Brontotheriidae and Palaeotheriidae. PrimalMustelid (talk) 21:55, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
