The Evolution of the Rhinoceros 

Rhinos are one of the strongest animals in the world and they are tough🦏

I wish rhinos today were as diverse and abundant ;^(

And they said unicorns weren’t real…

I hope the Sumatran rhino will be saved from extinction. We can't let the closest relative of the woolly rhino disappear.

Hearing about all the megafauna and other interesting mammals that used to exist and the ones drifting close to extinction now fills me with a deep sense of yearning and sorrow. Such magnificent creatures lost to time, many more that future generations will never see. I mean, I know they're very frightening creatures many of which had and have bad attitudes but the world is a poorer place without them none the less.

I love rhinos.They are really facinating and unique species.

Brilliant video, I've never seen one that went into the history of rhinos before and this was excellent. I'd love to see you cover the evolution of the horse!

Evolution is mysterious and fascinating and I love it. Thank you for the knowledge, king

Do the evolution of Anteaters, Armadillos, and Sloths

This is some really awesome stuff! It's like a chill audiobook of a prehistory encyclopedia and I love it! May I suggest you do a video about hoofed carnivores next? Keep up the good work!

A rhino is any member of the family Rhinocerotidae, whilst members of the superfamily Rhinocerotoidea are called rhinocerotoids.

Don’t stop these videos. I’ve wanted to do something like this for so long but lack the equipment and knowledge. You do the evolution explaining really well

Thank you for the amount of detail in this video, this is a fascinating group of animals.

This is one of the best, if not the best, of these types of video dealing with both living and extinct spuer families or family of animals. Very extensive! Extremely impressed! Thanks!

Thank you so much for the great informative video. It always amazes me how the connections can be made to reveal the lineages of extinct creatures. Excellent format, Pictures, and clear verbal delivery. Much appreciated. Peace & Love ❤️🙏

Nice. The evolution of rhinos is one of my favorite subjects in paleontology.

Your vids are criminally under-viewed - KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! I always stop what I'm doing to watch them :)

A full and complicated lineage! Very interesting video! Thanks.

Fantastic video! Keep up the great work!

Until now, I’d only heard of a few rhino ancestors, like the Paracer, the wooly rhino and one or two others. Thanks for shedding some light on that.

Very nice. This got me really curious about mammal extinctions.

this channel is massively underrated

Thank you for your hard work.

A video about how horses and donkeys split. Also calicotherum (I think that was what it was called) that big horse apeish thing. What kind of mobility did its shoulders have? Apes can spread their arms wide while horses have mostly a front and back shoulder movement. If that beastie could reach wide instead of having to reach forward would indicate different feeding patterns.

Interestingly the closest living relatives of the woolly rhinos (genus Coelodonta) are the Sumatran Rhino (Dicerorhinus Sumatrensis) and african two-horned rhinos (genera Ceratotherium and Diceros).

Your videos are addictive

I honestly love these videos I'm more of a dinosaur guy personally studying a lot of the avian and non-avian animals and whatnot but it's definitely a nice change to learn about our more recent ecology. I would like to know a little bit more about like the evolution of both wolves and big cats

Love the use of the Harder image at 2:08! Although their stuff may not age well in terms of anatomical accuracy, I still consider guys like Harder and Zallinger to be the Jack Kirby's and Steve Ditkos of Animal Origins.... And yes, that would easily be the single most geek fortified statement in RU-vid history 🤘

Thank you for the very informative video the rhino is my absolute favorite ..

I love this kind of videos. I love the megafauna and this has the biggest ones. Can you make a video about hyenas evolution? I think they are pretty cool and underrated

Do one on the big cats next!

I really enjoyed and learned things thank you so much

I've been waiting for this episode ever since I first saw your videos. Rhinos ftw!

Nice vid man, as always! Would really appreciate a video about early mammal evolution

Great video!

Nice work 👏👏👏

5 living species These are the subspecies 1. White Rhinoceros 2 subspecies 2. Black Rhinoceros atleast 7 subspecies 3. Sumatran Rhinoceros 3 subspecies 4. Lesser One-horned Rhinoceros 3 subspecies 5. Indian Rhinoceros no subspecies Western Sumatran Rhinoceros - "50 individuals" Bornean Rhinoceros - "Atleast 2 individuals" Northern Sumatran Rhinoceros / Ear fringed Rhinoceros - "Less than a dozen, if any" Indian Javan Rhinoceros - "Extinct" Vietnamese Javan Rhinoceros - "Extinct" Indonesian Javan Rhinoceros - "60" Chobe Black Rhinoceros - "1 INDIVIDUAL" Southern Black Rhinoceros - "Extinct" Western Black Rhinoceros - "Extinct" Northeastern Black Rhinoceros - "Extinct" Northern White Rhinoceros - "2 individuals" Sunderban Dwarf Rhinoceros - "no individuals" In Africa, they started poaching from the south and when the Southern Black Rhinoceros went "extinct" in 1850s, conservationists worked to protect the few dozens of Southern White Rhinoceros left to successfully increase the population to thousands. Then the rhinos in the north were targeted and when the Northeastern Black Rhinoceros went "extinct" in 1910s, the conservationists worked to increase the population of the Western Black Rhinoceros and the Northern White Rhinoceros, with the Western Black Rhinoceros population successfully increased in 1930s, but due to lack of funds and high corruption in 1980s both the protected species went to a steep decline. Northern White Rhinoceros were numerous than the few dozens of Southern White Rhinoceros, so the later got attention and is now in thousands Chinese and Vietnamese doctors prescribe rhinoceros horns, pangolin scales and everything unique like some unique wild monkey parts for natural substitute of viagra to all the way to treat cancer, none of this is proved to be effective at all Woe to these traditional medicines Check this out Real content his channel got deleted this is his new channel ru-vid.com/show-UC9TRC_NtMm_LyTLMvVazJFA

Nice pictures and video.👍

Should we reintroduce rhino back to europe?

great video

The three families are Amynodon today, Hyracodon today, and Rhinocero today.

Evolution of all the insects

Haha I just got a genie from a lamp and I get 3 wishes. First Wish: create a hidden, isolated Plateau in Northwest in Wyoming consisting of Elasmotherium, Megatherium, Hippidion, Steppe Bison, Diprotodon, Toxodon, Irish Elk, Paraceratherium, Doedicurus, Macrauchenia, Camelops, Aurochs, Moa, Columbian Mammoth, Chalicotherium, Enteledon, Leptictidium, Embolotherium, Propaleotherium, Woolly Rhinoceros, Smilidon, Dire Wolf, American Lion, Gastornis, Dodo, Passenger Pigeon, Thylacine, Large short faced Bear, & Glyptodon. Second Wish: turn the Plateau into a Wildlife Preserve Sanctuary but also a Safari Ride as well. Third Wish: let them grow and thrive.

мой дядя копал ледник и нашел кости. это оказался полный скелет шерстистого носорога! это было в селе Чурапчы в Якутии

We can clone Woolly rhinoceroses.

You didn't say what species the corgi rhino is. You did however, do a stellar job of introducing me to so many new species. I'm so glad I found your marvelous channel. :-)

Think you could do one on calicotherium?

Favorite Mamallian megafauna by far.

Hi. New to the channel. I might recommend you make more fun titles and thumbnails. Like I know there are some weird looking rhinos in there. Something like the crazy ancestors that led to rhinos or something like that. (EDGE is a good channel to check out for inspiration. Atlas pro would be good to look at too because they grew pretty fast.)

Awesome video! I love seeing some of the precursor Rhino species, really fascinating stuff. PS is user Caviramus a hyena or is the image just random lol?

Could you cover the evolution of capybaras?

"Paraceratherium is the largest thing in prehistoric history" Sauropods: and i took that personally

Next video, evolution of the whales

The paraceratherium was the largest super herbivore

1:50 if this isn't pokemon I don't know what is

This video is really good....very informative...you have gained my sub....just some tips...please increase your volume a bit cause its a bit difficult to hear

Indrictotherium and elasmotherium are my favorites.

Great video, but volume could be MUCH higher

When the narrator begins to describe these species it sounds like he’s reading a Dr Seuss book.

I bet Viced Rhino would love this video.

Interesting

I love Rhinos!

Nice. Rhinos were the closest we got to sauropods! Sadly, mammalian necks can't be quite as versatile as that if archosaurs with their unilateral respiratory system, but it was a good run!

hey man you should try to increase the volume of your videos !!

At first I thought this was a repost because the title is very close to the differences between different rhino species

I have some sad news, Elasmotherium no longer has a horn

Dicerotoni is my favorite pasta shape

Of all ancient rhinos, the Endricotherium and Wooly Rhinoceros are my favorites.

Love rhinos, they are so wonderfully prehistoric looking. Its said that the first historical body armor in China was patterned after armored (Indian) rhinos. I say patterned but sadly they literally killed the rhinos to make their skin into the armor, but hey. The babies are adorbs. The animal is curiously capable of bonding with humans especially in orphaned situations. There are accounts of orphaned rhinos becoming ill when their surrogate human 'parent' disappears, and at least one claim of a young orphan rhino dying from loneliness after being left for a 2 week stretch. If they could keep them small they'd be a pet in every home. But they don't stay small..... oh no lol.

Do a speculative evolution video on future animals do you know what speculative evolution is?

i would like to sugest Mustelidae Canidae Felidae

Would have loved to have see a paraceratherium

Hi! How about brontotherridae? :)

It’s so tragic that every living species of rhino is critically endangered or functionally extinct. The irony is their horns, which they are hunted for due to it’s supposed value in eastern medicine, has no more medicinal value than human toenails.

Rhinos are among the last megafauna (large animals) alive. We need to protect them.

wait a minute then this means that ARK has more than one rhino in it!

Animal Origins, have you heard of Rudi Putra? His team could use a shout out!

if we're not careful we're going to lose all of these majestic animals and all because some people want their horns it's a travesty great video though

When you see elephants standing beside a hippo or rhinos you see how big they truly are.

Rhinos are my favorite animal

i found it could have been raised in audio. kinda quiet. apart from that I enjoyed it.

Is there a basal one-horned rhino that they haven't found yet, possibly?

Rhino on a....Rhino on a cross 😞💅🏻

paraceratherium to me looks like a cross between the rhinoceros and the giraffe

Horns up Rhino!

Is this the dude who also has the tierzoo channel?

RHINOS MUST LIVE!!!

Elasmotheriinae is actually a Siberian unicorn 😏

Are you also the tierzoo guy?

Elasmotherium = Unicorn

Now i need to find a pet to name Cadurcadon.

there are somehow facts that says that rhinos were actually an animal that related to giraffes hippos and zebras like the Toxodon is some type of an extinct hippo-like animal but their modern relatives was actually a Javan rhinoceros also the paraceratherium a giraffe-like creature but their modern relatives also a rhino so as the extinct rhino that look like a horse called moropus even though they're the family of the extinct horse gorilla the chalicotheriidae but the moropus closely like paraceratherium

Oh yeah

So the Unicorn was a type of Rhino.

❤❤❤

elasmotherium was alive 39000 years ago and then went extinct i wonder if humans were hunting them and maybe they're were considered rare (since they were on brink of extinction), and maybe thats how we got idea of "unicorn" which stuck to this day (again, only maybe)

Next Beyoncédon

remember how Animal Armageddon put Elasmotherium in southeast asia

Rhinos are true champions of the roman colosseum

Donald Prothero wrote a great book on the paleobiology of indricotheres called Rhinoceros Giants.
