Taxonomy
Aegyrcitherium was named by Antoine (1997), who assigned one species to the genus, A. beonensis. It was reranked as Hispanotherium (Aegyrcitherium) by Guérin and Pickford (2003). It was assigned to Elasmotheriini by Antoine et al. (2000) and Deng (2003); and to Hispanotherium by Guérin and Pickford (2003).[2][3][4]

gollark: Not *normally*, but it must be possible to have it load one *somehow*, right?
gollark: How do I make it load this """"initramfs"""?
gollark: Anyway, I decided I would try to increase my suffering and boot *mainline* linux on this instead of the somewhat unworking special kernel whatever!
gollark: Wondrous.
