I never knew there was such a variety in prehistoric rhinos...

This is not a rhino, but Brontotheriid

Your brontotheres looks really weird with that narina in the top of the facial ornamment, do you base that reconstruction in any recent invstigation??

DiBgdMar 18, 2010

It's an old idea, but new investigations makes it possible ("ram" is a part of nasale bones).

What would be the advantage of having nostrils that high?

DiBgdJul 14, 2012

It's an old idea, described by K. Flerov, also by other Russian specialists, but I've seen such reconstruction also in Internet site of AMNH.

I know that, but it doesn't really answer the question. What would be the purpose of having the nostrils in that position?

PristichampsusNov 30, 2012

I think it's possibly that the nostrils were like that to create a resonating chamber.

Ah.
