macrauchen

Updated: June 8, 2025

While this giant is absorbed in his juicy breakfast, see! there lounges along his neighbour the macrauchen equally massive, equally heavy, equally vast, equally peaceful. The stranger resembles the huge rhinoceros, elevated on much loftier limbs. But his most remarkable feature is the enormously long neck, like that of the camel, but carried to the altitude of that of the giraffe.
