PIX4664410: Brontotheres - Brontotherium - Artist's view of Brontotheres (Brontotherium) in a North American landscape 35 million years ago. An Oligocene Brontotherium leaves his forest habitat in search of a vegetarian meal. 35 million years ago North America was home to brontotheres, a family of large herbivores that looked somewhat like giant rhinoceroses, but probably were more closely related to horses. Brontotherium ('thunder beast') was one such genus of these prehistoric mammals. Characterized by a massive forked or sling-shot shaped horn, Brontotherium stood about eight feet tall at the shoulder and weighed about two tons. Brontotherium's name comes from Sioux Native Americans who discovered their skeletons following their exposure by severe rain storms. The Sioux believed Brontotherium caused thunderstorms by running across the top of the clouds / Bridgeman Images
MPX5147379: If any of the Manchester City players put on weight over the Xmas period, they certainly took it all off during their training session, Y'day (Mon) After three practise laps on the running track at Wythenshawe park just to warm up, they set off on a country run for half-an-hour. This was followed by four laps at moderate speed, and finally two laps flat out.. . and for many of them that was enough. Taking part in the session was Colin Bell who is seen during the run, sprinting and doing some exercises which were thrown in for light relief. Helping in the City training, Derek Ibbotson and Joe Lancaster. Colin Bell's partner in the kicking exercise which looks like a new dance routine, is Mike Doyle.
