202176202176Hundsheim rhinoceros (Stephanorhinus hundsheimensis (Toula, 1902))
Order: Perissodactyla
Family: Rhinocerotidae
Size: 2.7 m in length, 150 cm in height, 1500-2000 kg of weight
Time period: lived during the Pleistocene epoch (Europe, 1.2 - 0.13 Ma)
Stephanorhinus hundsheimensis first definitively appears in the fossil record in Europe and Anatolia at around 1.2 Ma, with possible records in Iberia around 1.6 Ma and 1.4-1.3 Ma. The earliest confirmed appearance in Italy around 1 Ma. Stephanorhinus hundsheimensis is typically suggested to have gone extinct at around 0.5 Ma, though a 2023 study suggested that the species may have persisted as recently as the latest Middle Pleistocene-earliest Late Pleistocene around 130,000 years ago, based on fossils found in Spain
