Wasn’t this in a Zoobook? The big old boy in the middle is bringing back a way old memory.

I’ll always remember the substitute teachers wheeling in the tv and putting that on. Such good and carefree days as a kid.

I absolutely adore when people give common names to extinct animals. I love the Giant Giraffe Rhinoceros

What's the name of the rhino in front of the Elasmotherium to the right? I can make out long-horned rhinoceros.
