The family Rhinocerotidae has a long and amazing history in North
America. From their first appearance about forty million years ago,
they diversified into an incredible array of taxa, with a variety
of ecologies that do not resemble any of the five living species.
They ranged from delicate long-legged dog-sized forms, to huge
hippo-like forms that apparently lived in rivers and lakes. This
book includes a systematic review of the entire North American
Rhinocerotidae, with complete descriptions, measurements, and
figures of every bone in every species - the first such review in
over a century. More importantly, it discusses the biogeographic
patterns of rhinos, their evolutionary patterns and paleoecology,
and what rhinos tell us about the evolution of North American
landscapes and faunas over 35 million years. It is a complete and
authoritative volume that will be a reference of interest to a
variety of scientists for years to come.
