Description

The late Pliocene rhinoceros lived at the end of the Pliocene. It was a relatively slender animal, medium to large in size compared to other contemporary rhinos. It lived in the same faunas together with other animals, such as the Auvergne tapir, the Auvergne mastodon and the Borson mastodon, testifying to the existence of the so-called Triversa Fauna Unit. This association testifies to a forest environment with a warm and humid climate, also reflected by the set of teeth with low dental crown, typical of a grinder adapted to a diet composed mostly of leaves, roots and bark.
