About Mulkrajanops
Mulkrajanops is a dubious extinct genus of perissodactyl, possibly a primitive brontothere, known from the Middle Eocene of South Asia. Fossils of the type and only species, M. moghliensis, have been found in both India-administered and Pakistan-administered districts of the disputed Kashmir region.
