Here is a higher quality and less cropped version of this image.

If anyone's curious, Elasmotherium were a group of rhinoceroses, fairly widespread across Eurasia, that arose about 2.6 million years ago, becoming extinct as little as 29,000 years ago during the last glacial maximum. Cave paintings from Rouffignac in France might possibly depict the last of these beasties - and actually bring their extinction closer to around 13,000 years ago.

It's an interesting restoration anywho! Definitely getting some Bantha vibes. I'd personally had gone for something more like this, but the truth is nobody knows what they looked like, so it's fair game.
