An Elasmotherium grazing
An Elasmotherium grazes on the ancient steppe of what is today Southern Russia. Characterized by a single massive horn (up to 6 feet long), Elasmotherium was a giant herbivorous mammal active in Eurasia about 3 million years ago. Related to modern rhinos, Elasmotherium was more massive, standing about 8 feet tall at the shoulder and up to 26 feet long and weighing over 3 tons.
Elasmotherium should not be confused with the smaller and extinct woolly rhinoceros which emerged about 2 million years after the appearance of the first Elasmotherium

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Elasmotherium gracefully grazing on the ancient steppe of Southern Russia. Standing tall at 8 feet and measuring up to a staggering 26 feet in length, this giant herbivorous mammal roamed Eurasia approximately 3 million years ago. Its most distinctive feature is its single massive horn, reaching up to 6 feet long, which sets it apart from modern rhinos. Although related to its smaller cousin, the woolly rhinoceros, Elasmotherium predates it by about 2 million years. This magnificent creature weighed over 3 tons and was a true marvel of nature's evolution. The image transports us back in time to witness the grandeur of this prehistoric era. Against the backdrop of vast grasslands and open skies, we see the Elasmotherium engrossed in its daily routine – peacefully munching on lush green grasses that carpeted the steppe. As we admire this digitally generated illustration brought to life with vibrant colors, we are reminded of Earth's rich natural history and diverse array of species that once roamed our planet. The presence of such majestic megafauna like Elasmotherium adds depth to our understanding of life during the Cenozoic era. Walter Myers' skillful capture invites us into a world where primitive creatures thrived amidst savannas and grassy plains. It serves as a testament to both scientific discovery and artistic representation within paleontology - offering viewers an awe-inspiring glimpse into our planet's past wonders.
