Over the past 50 million years, rhinocerotoids have been ?the most ecologically diverse and successful group of large herbivores' on the planet, according to paleontologist Donald Prothero of Occidental College in Los Angeles. Rhinoceros relatives have ranged in size from collie dog-sized creatures to great dinosaurian beasts the equal of five bull elephants. Since hominids gained their current dominance, however, the five remaining rhino species - Indian, javan, and Sumatran in Asia and black and white rhinos in Africa - have not fared well (BioScience 38: 740-744).
