Brontotherium wander the lush late Eocene landscape

Brontotherium wander the lush Late Eocene landscape of South Dakota 35 million years ago.
Modern rhinoceroses have a symbiotic relationship with birds (variously known as oxpeckers or tick birds) that eat parasites they find on the rhinos skin and noisily warn of danger. No doubt similar symbiotic relationships existed between birds and the megafauna of the Eocene

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back 35 million years ago to the lush late Eocene landscape of South Dakota. In this mesmerizing scene, a group of mighty Brontotherium roam freely, their massive frames dominating the grasslands. These primitive creatures, also known as thunder beasts, were part of the megafauna that once roamed our Earth. Interestingly, modern rhinoceroses share a similar symbiotic relationship with birds called oxpeckers or tick birds. These feathered companions play a vital role in keeping the rhinos' skin free from parasites and alerting them to potential dangers with their noisy warnings. It is not hard to imagine that such alliances between avian species and the magnificent megafauna of the Eocene existed as well. The digitally generated image captures this prehistoric era's essence beautifully, showcasing these horned herbivores grazing peacefully amidst their habitat. The extinct Brontotherium stands tall and powerful alongside its fellow ungulate companion. As we admire this stunning snapshot from nature's history book, we are reminded of the intricate web of life that has evolved over millions of years on our planet. It serves as a testament to the fascinating science behind paleontology and evolution while highlighting how different species can form mutually beneficial relationships for survival. Walter Myers' artwork transports us into an ancient world where giants once roamed freely across vast savannas—a true celebration of Earth's natural wonders and its ever-evolving tapestry of life.
