US student finds new rhino species from 5-mn-year-old fossils

A study led by Texas A&M University doctoral candidate Rachel Short has identified a new ancient species of rhinoceros from 5-million-year-old fossilised remains found in USA's Tennessee. Represented by two nearly complete skeletons and others' partial remains, the species had longer front legs and lacked nasal horn. "Habitat is most likely a major factor in the unique features," Short said.
