We know the nasal cavity extended to the tip of the horn, but we don't know the position of the nostrils or even the size and shape of the nostrils.

The image of the brontothere as a rhinolike beast with a Y-shaped horn on its nose is so firmly entrenched, that it is very hard to get used to this portrayal.Ivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11637204084596462318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38902250.post-91541531162209868372009-04-26T13:46:00.000-07:002009-04-26T13:46:00.000-07:00damnit.
