Teeth of fossils assigned to Ceratotherium found at Makapansgat in South Africa were analysed for carbon isotopes and the researchers concluded that these animals consumed more than 30% browse in their diet, suggesting that these are not the fossils of the extant Ceratotherium simum which only eats grass.
Dentes de fósiles atribuídos a Ceratotherium atopados en Makapansgat, foron analizados por isótopos de carbono e os investigadores concluíron que eses animais consumiron un 30% máis de pasto na súa dieta, o que supón que non son os fósiles do extinto Ceratotherium simum que só come herba.
