Description: | Rhinos belong to the same family as horses, zebras and tapirs. Today there are 5 species, found in Africa and Asia. However, rhinos have existed for over 40 million years, and their fossil remains have been found throughout most of the world. Rhinos are herbivores and feed mainly on grass, although some species are browsers and prefer to feed from bushes and trees. This fossil tooth shows the broad, flat grinding surfaces that rhinos need to eat this tough diet. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | fossils natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
