PBS Eons has a new episode. This one is about horned rodents, more specifically horned gophers. When originally described, they were likened to miniature rhinoceros.
These odd rodents belong to a genus known as Ceratogaulus, but they’re more commonly called horned gophers, because, you guessed it, they had horns. And it turns out the horns probably had a purpose - one that rodents would likely benefit from today.
