Life of the Past

Rhinoceros Giants: The Paleobiology of the Indricotheres
Donald R. Prothero


A book for everyone fascinated by the huge beasts that once roamed the earth, Rhinoceros Giants: The Paleobiology of the Indricotheres introduces a prime candidate for the largest land mammal that ever lived—the giant hornless rhinoceros, Indricotherium. Donald R. Prothero tells their story, from their discovery by paleontologists just a century ago to the latest research on how they lived and died, with some interesting side trips along the way.
