Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. First appearing about 40 million years ago in North America, rhinoceroses diversified into an incredible array of taxa, with a variety of ecologies that don't 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. Including a complete systematic review, and discussions of biogeography, evolution and paleoecology, this book summarizes our current knowledge of North American rhinos and constitutes the most complete reference available. Rhinoceroses first appeared in North America about forty million years ago, diversifying into an incredible array of taxa, many bearing no resemblance to the five living species. This important reference provides a full systematic review of North American Rhinocerotidae, as well as discussions of biogeography, evolutionary patterns and their paleoecological significance.
