June 22, we'll mark the first Saturday of summer—#SolsticeSaturday—by staying open late and hosting parties, programs and performances in association with #ByThePeople and Hofstra University’s Department of Physics and Astronomy. And it's FREE. Details: si.edu/solsticesaturd… pic.twitter.com/4IfXfA9p5D

This Brontothere mammal is a Megacerops! (But it would have lived millions of years before woolly mammoths like in the Ice Age gang.) twitter.com/smithsonian/st…

🎶 I got horns but I'm not a rhino 🎶
This is Megacerops coloradensis. Its horns are bone, while a rhino’s horns are keratin—the same material as hair and nails. #DeepTime pic.twitter.com/GjM11tYyz0

Larger mammals like this one had big guts and long intestines to digest plants like grasses. Helpful gut bacteria had time to break down cellulose, the tough material of plant cell walls. These adaptations helped this giant herbivore gain more nutrition from the plants it ate. pic.twitter.com/Dwgqzz2BHS

Another hint: It lived 38 to 34 million years ago and walked in present-day Nebraska. pic.twitter.com/XdcIed5Zr5

Thanks for guessing! This animal lived around 30 million years more recently than Triceratops.
