This #FossilFriday, get to know “the father of all beasts”: Indricotherium transouralicu
This #FossilFriday, get to know “the father of all beasts”: Indricotherium transouralicum. It lived during the Oligocene some 30 million years ago. Indricotherium represented the culmination of an evolutionary lineage of fast-running rhinos that developed relatively long necks, legs, and feet. This animal probably fed on the leafy vegetation of shrubs and trees that grew above the reach of other large, contemporary herbivores. The skull and jaw on display in the Museum’s Hall of Advanced Mammals were found in Mongolia. Photo: E.
