He Is, to use the modern measure, only
four hands, or sixteen inches. high, so he
would not reach the knee of the Uintathere
and could be devoured at one sitting by
the Patriofelis. His limbs are as slender

ows upon his neck and name. In his
hair and coloring. however. we pass into

shaped front teeth indicate that he was

dent secret Of his triumphant persistence

that grasses began to appear. He was
the animal for the times.
