All Rhino Species |
Family Rhinocerotidae, begin to be recognizable towards the close of the Eocene, both in Europe and North America; and the Miocene genera in both countries differ very little in their skeleton from the surviving rhinos of the old world at the present day.
Genus Rhinoceros, date back in Europe as far as the middle Miocene of France (R. sansaniensis) and lower pliocene of Darmstadt (R. schleiermacheri).
