They went extinct because of this.

Is it really worth it?

So many baby Megacerops needlessly slaughtered for humanity's towel-hanging lust.

I feel like it's eyes shouldn't be where they are. Uncomfortable.

I don't know why, but to me it looks like their eyes should be further back, closer to their ears, or maybe their ears are too far back. I assume that's why they went extinct.

That's where the wyes are located on surviving rhinos.They are technically a prey species, sohey didn't really need to see what was dead ahead of them, since they were foragers. No predator is coming at them from the front, so they really only need to see what is at their sides.
