Written for everyone fascinated by the huge beasts that once
roamed the earth, this book introduces the giant hornless
rhinoceros, Indricotherium. These massive animals inhabited Asia
and Eurasia for more than 14 million years, about 37 to 23 million
years ago. They had skulls 6 feet long, stood 22 feet high at the
shoulder, and were twice as heavy as the largest elephant ever
recorded, tipping the scales at 44,100 pounds. Fortunately, the big
brutes were vegetarians. Donald R. Prothero tells their story, from
their discovery just a century ago to the latest research on how
they lived and died.
