I've always been a sucker for paleontological recreations and yours are some of the best I've ever seen. When you combine that with the essays about the animals and the details about creating the works, well . . . Thanks for your efforts and your generosity in posting this. I'm eagerly looking forward to more. But as a freelancer in a different field (and a fellow third-world farmer) I understand perfectly about the need to put paying work first. Still one can always hope. (And what does one have to do to get on your Christmas card list?) --Rick Cook Carl, your stuff is fantastic!

Beautiful pictures, again. I wonder about one feature of this running rhino - curved forehead like modern Indian rhino. Does it have any functional sense? Is it possible that such a small animal still had a horn? all the best! It is good to see you again!
