I am getting along on this drawing and trying to figure out how to post to my website from elsewhere at the same time! I have been going down to the museum every week to do detail drawings; of his feet, leg bones, skull, spine, etc. This is helping me figure out what the structure of the skeleton is so that I can work on the next part which is figuring out how the musculature would work.
I’m intrigued by his giant nasal bone structure, hence the name Rhinoceros Wombat. The “horn” was actually internal however. They were sexually dimorphic, so there were probably larger males with harems of smaller females. Maybe they did some nose-butting with other males? Did they have to rely on their sense of smell to find things? Did they use their nose to dig in the ground ?
