18 million year old rhinos found in Nagasaki

Adam Khor · 2012-01-17 02:05:20

They lived at a time in which Japan was connected to the mainland, and were around 2.4 meters long. http://mdn.mainichi.jp/mdnnews/news/20120113p2a00m0na003000c.html And here a Chilotherium pic, just because it's cool. (I mean c´mon, it's a rhino without horns but with huge tusks!)
