Eoazara xerrii: A new species of Elasmotheriine Rhinoceros from the Late Miocene of Morocco.
[sciencythoughts.blogspot.com]
Today only five species of Rhinoceros survive, all of which are highly endangered, but the fossil record contains about fifty genera of these Animals, which, even allowing for some exaggeration due to descriptions based upon fragmentary specimens, makes them among the most successful large Mammals of the Neogene. Rhinoceroses can be divided into two distince evolutionary lineages, the Rhinocerotinae and the Elasmotheriinae, although Early and Middle Miocene forms can be hard to assign to either group with confidence, by the Late Miocene the two Rhinoceros types had diverged enough to make differentiation fairly simple.
