Description
Wildlife of the Miocene era, artwork. The Miocene era is the period from around 23 to 5 million years ago. The animals shown are a giant land tortoise (Cheirogaster bolivari, bottom left), four prehistoric rhinoceroses (Hispanotherium matritense, centre), four prehistoric horses (Anchitherium sp., centre left), and two bear-dog animals (Amphicyon sp., lower right). The latter are fighting over a carcass. Two deer-like animals are at far right. This scene is based on fossils found in the Iberian Peninsula, at the Casa de Campo site.
